Mystery – A Way With The Statues

Statues have found a place in human existence since time immemorial. In fact, apart from tools and other essentials, the man of the stone-age also sculptured statues out of stones and rocks. They may not have been the finest works of art, but all the same without training and formal knowledge, they did create pre-historic masterpieces.

If statues have a historic significance, then they also have aesthetic value.


We will notice that statues have several common characteristics from the way they face and are positioned, to the way they are sized and depicted. There are three options for statue figures, either stand, sit, or kneel.

Almost every country has museums where sculptures of famed people of the past are created.

The purpose of museums is to give visitors a virtual experience of the past. In fact many palaces of India have been converted into museums.

Statues do not have to be colossal in size. Human size statues or statuettes are enough to bring forth the work of the sculptors. Creativity is the art of the mind formed from a daring imagination to make the difference – to bring laughter or to frown upon.


When studying the history of any culture or civilization, studying their various forms of art has been of vital importance. This is because the statues do say a lot about the prevailing times.

There are life-size sculptures or miniatures that can be kept on shelves. The government also sanctions the sculpturing of statues of people who have made a significant contribution to society, whether historic person or someone who belongs to the contemporary period.

Funny people will corelate themselves with statue(s) just to have the fun out of it.

Many people place statues in their homes and commercial premises to add to the beauty of the surroundings.

Some institutes, schools, colleges, hospitals and other such organizations usually have a statue of their founder prominently displayed.
