classical sculptures
Marble figures, antiquity
Classical sculptures are works of three-dimensional art from ancient Greece and Rome, or later works made in that tradition.
The style emphasizes idealized human forms, balanced proportions, and naturalistic anatomy.
The museum's collection of classical sculptures includes both ancient originals and Renaissance copies.
The term distinguishes these works from modern or abstract sculpture.
