A country I would like to visit

Since i was a little kid I always thought about going to the United States someday, thinking about it now I can say that it would be a really good idea because the U.S its home of many world class museums and Art Galleries like the Moma in New York.

Besides the museums the west coast of the U.S. offers a lot of very interesting and fun places to visit, California its where you can go to great coastal cities like San Francisco and San Diego, the have great beaches where you can practice a wide number  of water sports or just enjoy the warm waters.

An Artist that admire

Well I admire a lot of artists from different historic periods, from Giotto to Monet and Hopper. This time Im going to write about the sculptors from the ancient time who created the marble of Lacoon and his sons.

This artwork it's attributed by Pliny the Elder to the Rodhian sculptors Athenodoros, Agesander and Polydorus and it's depict the death of the trojan priest Lacoon being eaten alive by a giant snake, the other two carachters beside him are his two sons.
It's believed that the marble was created arounde the year 50 B.C in Rhodes an island situated at the mediterranean sea that during that time was part of the Hellenestic Confederation.
The artowk shows us in a very dramatic way the last minutes of Lacoon who suffers the torture and suffocation made by the giant snake sent by the goddes Athena who was furious because the trojan priest didn't wanted to receive the gift from the greek army that was attacking troy, this gift was the famous Horse of Troy.
