Sculpture• Classical Art (480 - 323 BC) was created during a "golden age",
from the time Athens rose to prominence and Greek expansion, right up until the death of Alexander the Great.
• The Classical age could be seen as a turning point in art and produced some of the most exquisite sculptures known today.
• It was during this age that sculptors had mastered marble and began creating statues that showed joyous freedom of movement and expression, while celebrating mankind as an independent entity (atomo)

• It was the first time in human history that the human body was studied for its aesthetic values, and was treated as an autonomous universe.
• The object of art became the human itself
![Page 23: Ancient Greece](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062812/5681632c550346895dd3a6a6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
•In the Classical period all the Greek statues from this time period showed a lack of expression, whereas, the depiction of 'barbarians' show a dramatic facial expression.
This was because the Greeks believed that suppression of the emotions was a noble characteristic of all civilised men, while the public display of human emotion was a sign of barbarism.
