ABSTRACT

Story reliefs are one of the media that artists use to relay a message to society. It mainly has stories with religious, heroic, to affection values written implicitly in the story reliefs. These messages can be understood well by us if the relief is sculptured in a communicative way, and vice versa, if we want to understand the meaning of the story relief, we must be able to understand the storyline well. One of the most timeless story relief themes are love-themed stories. In literatures, love-themed stories can be found in Rāmāyana, Pañji, to Sri Tañjung stories, and many more. These stories can be found in Javanese temples' relief. What kind of scenes are always sculptured in those love-themed reliefs, how are the characters portrayed, and what values can we get. The method that will be used is an observation to love-themed story reliefs on Loro Jonggrang Temple, Panataran Temple, Surowono Temple, and Jabung Temple. Aside from that, we will also be reading and understanding the stories comprehensively through the story scripts. The love scenes in the temple reliefs are depicted using very subtle and non-vulgar symbols, for example, one of the figures whose cloth is exposed indicates wanting to make love. Intimacy is described by the way a pair of lovers sit close together and so on.
