GREEK ART

SCULPTURE

Greek sculptures evolved very much over time. The esculptures of the Archaic Age are very static and represent figures schematically. In the Classical Age, sculptors learnt to represent movement in the human body. And in the Hellenistic Age sculptures reflected people´s feeling and moods.

The most important characteristics of Greek sculpture are these:

Its religious function . The majority of the reliefs and statues represent gods and goddeses and heroes.

The concern with beauty, proportion and harmony.

The importance of the representation of the naked human body.

The use fo stone in reliefs and bronze in statues. Most of the bronzes have been lost and we only know the Roman copies in marble.
