Vulca (English spelling)

Japanese: ウルカ(英語表記)Vulca
Vulca (English spelling)
An Etruscan sculptor from Baio (anciently Veii) in Italy. According to Pliny the Elder, during the reign of the Roman King Tarquinius Priscus, he created a four-horsed chariot for the Temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill in Rome. However, from a stylistical point of view, his active period is thought to have been between 510 and 490 BCE. He also created statues of Jupiter and Hercules. The statue of Apollo, discovered in Baio in 1914, is a painted clay statue (coroplastic, now in the Villa Giulia Museum) from the late Archaic period, and conveys the vitality of its form and the formality characteristic of the Archaic period.

イタリアのベイオ(古名ウェイイVeii)出身のエトルリア人塑像彫刻家。大プリニウスによればローマ王タルクイニウス・プリスクスのとき,ローマのカピトリーノ丘のユピテル神殿のため4頭立馬車像を制作している。しかし,様式的見地からすれば前510年から前490年ころが活躍期と考えられる。そのほか,ユピテル像,ヘラクレス像などを作った。1914年,ベイオで発見されたアポロン像はアルカイク期末期の彩色塑像(コロプラスティク,現ビラ・ジュリア美術館)で,生命力に満ちた造形性とアルカイク期特有の形式性を伝えている。
