Greek Sculptures

These two sculptures are kouros from the archaic period in Greek history. The picture on the left side is a women also called a kore sculpture. The one on the left is a male and called a kouros. Their simple body structure shows that they were from this period in time because the body is thin and doesn't show much anatomy. The faces show no emotion looking mask like.

These two pictures are of a classical Greek athlete and the goddess Aphrodite sculptures. The discus thrower on the left shows more anatomy then the archaic Greek kouros. You are beginning to see muscle. On the right side is a classical Greek sculpture of the goddess Aphrodite. You can see a lot more anatomy then the archaic kore sculpture. The goddess sculpture has more anatomy and muscle sculpture. The drapery around her hip area shows that sculptures are now getting more intricate with time.

This picture on the left of a headless angel is from the Hellenistic era. the drapery, muscle tone, and over all sculpture work is much more sophisticated than the Archaic period sculptures. You can't really see any anatomy but the drapery is close to a wet t-shirt contest the way it looks very thin and almost no existent.
