A New Era of Realism

Detailed Characterization of the Human Form

The Late Classical Greek art period, which spanned from around 450 to 323 BCE, witnessed a significant departure from the idealized and harmonious representations of the human form that had characterized the previous High Classical period. Artists during this time embraced a new emphasis on naturalism and realism, resulting in a detailed and expressive depiction of human anatomy and emotions.
