Greek sculptures
Ancient Hellenic carvings
Greek sculptures are the stone, bronze, and terracotta figures produced in ancient Greece, spanning from archaic rigid forms through the idealized naturalism of the Classical period to the dramatic emotion of Hellenistic works.
The term often evokes marble statues of gods, athletes, and idealized human bodies that established Western standards of beauty and proportion.
Museums display Greek sculptures as foundational works of Western art: The gallery's Greek sculptures include a Roman copy of Praxiteles' Aphrodite.
