>>200219807why is it that statue from thirdies are always so tasteless and gaudy? i don't know how to explainlike the giant statues in india and china that just look silly. it's so over the top and painfully nationalistic, and it looks cheaply madeA small bronze statue in some irrelevant french town has far more grace than whatever brownpipo are doing honestly

>>200219888because italy was a bunch of separate small states, and they were stuck in the mediterranean anywayIf hypothetical venetians, tuscans or genoese colonists got into trouble with the spaniards, they could not even leave the basin

>>200220986He has a point, this shit looks like it was built with cheese.
>>200221097It looks ridiculous and bombastic, which is still better than grace and cuckoldry.
>>200220148Because old Euro statues are based on real people and established mythological/legendary figures. "Thirdie" statues ( and also other cringy statues in the First World) are based on modernist concepts (anticolonialism, love, politics, environmentalism); they are reflections of fantasy and not reality. Monarchism, violence, Great Man history, Gods, saints: these things are the default way of the world and we instinctively know it. We are evolved to live in the Bronze Age after all.
>>200219888I don't know if you've noticed but Italy has no direct Ocean acess
>>200220148The Māori statues they're putting up here all look awful
Is that Alberto barbosa fighting off the evil spawn of yakub?
>>200219807Cahuide was actually wearing a Spanish sword and armor
>>200219807VGH, Tenochtitlan will resurface.
>>200220148I agree, yet I still love those gaudy thirdie statues. That Genghis Khan one is fucking lit.
