What is Greek art known for?
1 Answer
Greek art is known for its patronage to the gods and naturalistic, yet idealized, portrayal of the human body. Both the painters and sculptures of the time attempted to depict a body in motion, exactly how it appeared to the naked eye. Classical Greek art is renowned for its balance and sense of proportion.
