Bronze statue of Poseidon, c.5th century BC (Ancient Art and Architecture Collection). A god in human form: the Greeks created idealized versions of themselves to depict their gods. With dynamic lines, and finely modelled muscles, classical Greek art celebrated the perfect physicality of the human body. Earlier cultures like the Ancient Egyptians had worshipped the sun, animals or animal-human hybrids. More about the programme |
