Statue art is a diverse category that depicts statues from nearly every era of time. The most fascinating part of this form of sculpture art is that the image's subjects are considered art in and of themselves, making statue art an art category that illustrates other art.
Many works of statue art are religious images. Nearly every ancient religion placed images of religious leaders, gods, and goddesses within stone and those images have been captured in statue fine art pictures. Religious images like 'Close-Up of Faces of Laughing Buddha, Vietnam' and 'Three Graces, (The Vatican Collection)' by Antonio Canova are two examples of how diverse these stonework pictures can be.
Many history enthusiasts also enjoy statue art, due to the amount of historic monument prints within this art category. These works of sculpture art, such as 'Statue of Liberty in Paris, 1886', show important documented aspects of modern history. These works emote a variety of emotions in the viewer which range from patriotic, as in the statue print 'Iwo Jima Memorial at Dusk, Washington D.C.' to fascination, as with the work 'Statue of a Goddess, Kathmandu, Nepal'.
Statue art reveals not only the progression of stonework throughout the years or how religious figures were imagined, but also how mankind has progressed through the ages. These stonework pictures provide an architectural map of history that both art and history enthusiasts will enjoy for years to come.
