Contemporary Sculpture in Old Greece
Contemporary Sculpture in Old Greece
Sculptors ornamented the elaborate columns and archways with renderings of the gods until the period came to a close and more Greeks had begun to think of their religion as superstitious rather than sacred; at that time, it became more standard for sculptors be paid to show ordinary people as well. Wealthy families would often times commission a rendition of their forefathers for their big familial tombs; portraiture also became prevalent and would be appropriated by the Romans upon their acquisition of Greek society. During the the years of The Greek Classical period, a time of aesthetic development, the use of sculpture and other art forms greatly improved, so it is inaccurate to say that the arts served just one function. Greek sculpture was actually a cutting-edge component of antiquity, whether the reason was religious fervor or visual fulfillment, and its contemporary quality might be what endears it to us today.
