This programme explores how the ancient Greeks transformed the representation of the body into a cultural and artistic language that continues to influence art today. From the kouros figures of the Archaic period to the sculptural perfection of the Classical age, we examine how ideas of proportion, athleticism, divinity, and citizenship became embedded in art and architecture.
