Date de diffusion: Avr 04, 2013

Travel to ancient Greece and trace the development of realism in sculpture through the Archaic period. The “Kritios Boy” represents a leap forward and seems more “alive” than Egyptian sculptures, partly because of the development of contrapposto and partly due to cultural differences in artistic taste between the Greeks and the Egyptians.
