kore

Definition of kore in English English dictionary: A statue of woman produced in Ancient Greece. Statues show a woman standing, usually clothed and painted in bright colours and having a elaborate hairstyle. The female equivalent of a kouros; Type of freestanding statue of a maiden (the female counterpart of the kouros) that appeared with the beginning of Greek monumental sculpture ( 700 BC) and remained to the end of the Archaic period ( 500 BC). Carved from marble and originally painted, the kore is a draped female figure standing erect with feet together or one foot slightly advanced. One arm is often extended, holding an offering; the other is lowered, usually clasping a fold of drapery. As in all Greek art, the kore evolved from a highly stylized form to a more naturalistic one. Its prototypes are found in Egyptian and Mesopotamian art; (Greek mythology) daughter of Zeus and Demeter; made queen of the underworld by Pluto in ancient mythology; identified with Roman Proserpina
