The Hellenic Republic: Cultural StatuesHellenic Republic: Cultural Statues 60140880873230144522.jpg Even though most sculptors were compensated by the temples to embellish the sophisticated columns and archways with renderings of the gods, as the time period came to a close, it became more common for sculptors to represent common people as well because plenty of Greeks had begun to think of their religion as superstitious rather than sacred. Often times, a interpretation of affluent families' forefathers would be commissioned to be laid inside of huge familial tombs, and portraiture, which would be replicated by the Romans upon their conquest of Greek civilization, also became commonplace. A time of aesthetic progression, the use of sculpture and alternate art forms transformed throughout the Greek Classical period, so it is not entirely accurate to suggest that the arts provided only one function. It could be the modern quality of Greek sculpture that captivates our awareness these days; it was on a leading-edge practice of the classic world regardless of whether it was created for religious purposes or aesthetic pleasure.
