jan 10, 480 BC - Classical Greek Sculpture
Description:
480-323 B.C.Classical sculpture saw technical skill and naturalism increase, and sculptures used contrapposto (twisting of the body) to create more realism. They also depicted real people as opposed to votive/mythological statues. Sculpture was used in building decoration and funerary monuments, and new techniques were developed for metal casting.
