Western Classical Art
Western Classical Art refers to the artistic traditions that emerged in Europe, particularly during the periods of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. This art is characterized by its emphasis on realism, proportion, and the human form. Notable works include sculptures like the Venus de Milo and paintings such as The School of Athens by Raphael, which showcase the ideals of beauty and harmony.
The Renaissance, a pivotal period in Western Classical Art, saw a revival of classical themes and techniques. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo pushed the boundaries of creativity, focusing on perspective and anatomy. This era laid the foundation for future artistic movements and continues to influence art today.
