Contemporary Sculpture in Ancient Greece
Contemporary Sculpture in Ancient Greece Even though the majority of sculptors were remunerated by the temples to embellish the elaborate columns and archways with renderings of the gods, as the period came to a close, it became more prevalent for sculptors to portray ordinary people as well because many of Greeks had begun to think of their religion as superstitious rather than sacred. Portraiture, which would be acknowledged by the Romans upon their annexation of Greek civilization became customary as well, and wealthy families would often commission a portrait of their forebears to be situated in enormous familial tombs. A point of artistic development, the use of sculpture and other art forms transformed through the Greek Classical period, so it is inexact to assume that the arts served only one function.
