Sculpture plays an important role in the history of art. It combines the ancient people's wisdom and their skillfulness. In the trip of metropolitan, Perseus With The Head of Medusa which is created by Antonio Canova and The Burghers of Calais which is made by Auguste Rodin are the fabulous sculptures that impress me. Although those two sculptures are created in 18th century, they have different features including the surface appearance of the sculpture, the size and the placement of each sculpture. The sculpture's surface appearance and drapery are the main differences between Perseus With The Head of Medusa and Burghers of Calais. In the sculpture of Perseus, the muscles are carved definitively, showing well-defined and visible muscle. Because of the naked body, the audience tends to see a natural and perfect “perhaps a body of a god." The lack of clothes influences the people to focus on the muscles. This is the purpose of the sculptures. Antonio Canova wants to emphasize that Perseus has strong power to kill Medusa through the precise carving of the muscles. For the drapery, the cloth is draped around Perseus's left arm. It falls all the way to the back of the sculpture. The line for the cloth creates a look of soft folding. Regarding Burghers of Calais, Rodin has a different focus on his sculpture in order to reach his goal. In the sculpture of six citizens, they wear their clothes that appear worn-out which identifies with poverty, the lowest class of the society and their tragic life. By the way, the old clothes seem to symbolize the poor citizens because they are the representatives who surrender in order to save all the people. The lines in the robes of Rodin's six burghers are long and softly accented. Because of the reflection of the sunlight, it creates the contrast between shadow and light which result in shining appearance that tends to suggest the idea that sculptures suggests the idea that these figures are luminous
