Parthenon marbles

Marbles are a collection of classical Hellenic marble sculptures, Inscriptions and architectural members. This collection was originally part of the Par whenceon temple and new(prenominal) buildings around It on the Acropolis of Athens, Greece. They are a master subdivision for ancient Greek art and a treasure for the world. Those statues as al offices been part of the Pantheon complex until the Turkish conquered Greece and gained the power allover its artifacts and properties.It had been relatively easy for Thomas Bruce, the 7th earl of Elgin, Britain, to buy from the Ottomans ambassador a wide range of art pieces for a low price. He removed 56 pieces from the temples frieze, 15 mottoes, and 17 pediment sculptures, prescribed a caryatid and a column from a nearby temple and he exported them in his own courtyard. After few year he nominate himself forced to sell the collection to the British nation which deposited It In the British Museum for safe happening, where It Is still today.But long before their arrival In England those statues had been battered by wars, fires, earthquakes, whippets, destructions by sawing off chunks of sculptures and other kind of damage. They brook been scrubbed, cleaned with abrasive substances and finally reburied again with stained wax. Since Greece got back its independence, the folk and the politic leaders consider been fighting to take the Pantheon Marbles back home as nearly as Britain has fought to keep them in the British National museum. The case had been brought stock-still to the European UnionsCourt of respectableice but the marbles are still at present so far from their native place. Through pop the history of the world more nations has lost important pieces of their art as well as other countries and populations have stolen them. Whether its dear to keep those masterpieces or ordinate them back to their proprietor Is a very controversial issue and the world hasnt found the right answer yet. Everyone Ju st cares about their own business and they both want to keep others populations piece of art and have back theirs own.First of all I commend we should stop seeing ancient art as a producer of bullion but as a precious gift to admire. sustain of all we should stop seeing those artifacts as a property of that submit instead of the other but as a property of the holy world. Having said that I think that every piece of art could have been more enjoyed and admired in its own primal place. And I dont think up Just the country where its from, but when possible, even the building where it had been placed.I think it should be an extraordinary emotion to see what and how it should kook like many historic period before us, in the place where that object was made up for, its original(a) home. Many years ago I visited the pyramids, I was a minor so I dont remember it very clearly but I do remember how sad I was when I found out that inside they were almost empty. I expected to found a mummy, sarcophagus, approved urns and all the stuff that belonged to that pharaoh and that pyramid. I was so disappointed that someone had Just took them away, to bring them who knows where. Years later I the best Egyptian collections I have ever seen.But when I was there I felt so sad, I felt eke a thief because that pieces were not from Turin and neither from Italy and then it didnt look so good as it could look in the pyramids, the real place where they belong. I think art is not Just the piece itself, self-standing, but related to the environment it was designed for. Only in that way it could be admired for its own beauty and purpose. So If I had the power, Id give every piece of art back to their primal home, and not because of the money or whatever but because there it can shine as no where else in the entire world.
