Kore (English spelling)

Japanese: コレー(英語表記)korē
Kore (English spelling)
A Greek word meaning "young girl." In art history, it refers to a standing statue of a young girl from the Greek Archaic period. Many kore were produced between 650 and 480 BC. While koros from the same Archaic period were depicted nude, kore were almost always depicted clothed, with the important motifs being the drapery of the chiton, peplos, himation (outer garment) they wore, and the hair braided in various shapes, and they were richly painted. The best known are the nearly 20 kore excavated at the Athenian Acropolis, collectively known as the "Acropolis Kore." The most famous of these is the "Peplos Kore" (c. 540 BC, National Archaeological Museum, Athens), which is the only one wearing a Doric peplos, while all the other kore wear an Ionic chiton and himation. The Kore of Chios (c. 510 BC), wearing a pleated Ionic robe, is the best preserved statue and is also a good example of the Ionic style.

「少女」を意味するギリシア語。美術史ではギリシア・アルカイック期の少女立像をさす。前 650~480年頃に数多くのコレーが制作された。同じアルカイック期のクーロスは裸体で表現されたが,コレーはほとんど着衣の姿で表わされ,その身に着けたキトンやペプロス,ヒマティオン (外衣) などの衣文とさまざまな形に編んだ頭髪の表現が重要なモチーフで,豊かな彩色が施されていた。最もよく知られているのは,『アクロポリスのコレー』の名で総称されるアテネのアクロポリスで発掘されたほぼ 20体のコレーである。なかでも有名なのは,ほかのコレーがすべてイオニア風のキトンの上にヒマティオンをまとっているのに対して,ただ1体だけドーリス風のペプロスを身に着けた『ペプロス・コレー』 (前 540頃,アテネ国立考古学博物館) である。またひだの多いイオニア風の衣を着けた『キオスのコレー』 (前 510頃) は,最も彩色のよく残っている像で,その作風もイオニア風をよく示している。
