Sculpture
Monumental sculpture is an ancient form of culture. Located in the urban and natural environment it organizes the architectural ensemble, organically enters the natural landscape, decorates the squares, architectural complexes, and creates spatial compositions that can include the architectural installations. Monumental sculpture designed to be seen from a large distance, made of durable materials (granite, bronze, copper, and steel) and is installed on large granite spaces. An example of the monumental sculpture is The Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius, 161-180, Rome, The Capitoline Hill.

The main object of the sculpture is a human being, human body, a movement (portrait, bust, torso, statue, and a sculptural group). The inner world, character, psychological state is transmitted through its

appearance. The most popular genre in sculpture is a portrait. There were various forms of the portrait in history: masks of mummies, Greek germanium (a pillar with a portrait head), and Roman bust. A portrait was divided by a purpose: a grand and an intimate one. A fragment genre gets a special place in the sculpture – the individual parts of the human body. The historical genre is closely connected to the reflection of the specific historical events and a story about its participants. This genre often realizes itself in monumental forms. Animal genre has developed in sculpture even before the portrait. But the real development starts after the crash of the anthropocentric conception of the world and the understanding the phenomena of a single material world.
