Does anyone here know classic artwork?
RE: Does anyone here know classic artwork?
#3
I'd thought #03 might be something about a hero defeating an Amazon.  When I checked the Wikipedia article on Amazons, I didn't find anything like that image, but Amazon in Combat somewhat resembles #16.  The positions of arms, feet, and head aren't quite right, but then #01 doesn't seem to me to really be hunched over quite enough for The Thinker.

Also, I suspect #14 is meant to be Artemis/Diana, but which particular statue or painting of her I can't find.  Strictly speaking, it could instead be one of the maidens who hunted with the goddess.  I tried looking for a matching image of Atalanta, but didn't see one.
