Greek art
Parthenon's sculptural tradition
Greek art refers to the visual arts produced by ancient Greek civilization, roughly from 900 BCE to 31 BCE, encompassing sculpture, pottery, architecture, and painting.
The term typically evokes idealized marble statues, painted vases with mythological scenes, and temple architecture like the Parthenon.
Greek art established principles of proportion, naturalism, and beauty that shaped Western artistic traditions for millennia: The museum's collection of Greek art includes several Attic vases.
