Ziegler wrote that “Michelangelo radically redefined the enterprise of making pieta sculptures and, hence, redefined the nature of the “art” itself (Ziegler).” He did so by contrast with the Flemish works: Michelangelo’s core figures are inviolable (due to the change material from wood to marble)…

political, mathematical, and artistic innovation. The Classical period extends from the late 6th century to 4th century B.C. During this time the people of Greece saw a move towards naturalism compared to the art of the Archaic period that preceded it. Sculptures grew less stylized, instead they focussed on replicating the human form as seen in life. Depiction of figures on vases also became naturalistic; however, they retained a level of stylization due to their flatness. The city-state of…

Minoans had a stiffer and rigid body structured portrayed in their statues that doesn’t exactly resemble a human body, but it was as close as they could get. The Minoans also weren’t exactly aiming to be as close to a human body form because the sculpture was a representation to a Snake Goddess and Goddess aren’t supposed to be human-like at all.

Frescoes also can be made in four different styles, each with their own unique qualities. A fresco is a painting done directly on a wall inside of a Roman building and are used to capture a moment in time, show off or imitate wealth, and show their love of the gods. These three uses of frescoes are also three of the main characteristics of Roman culture. After…

hammers and chisels instead of a computer. We have no idea of what the people actually looked like whose likeness was used to create the famous statues of the past. Body imagery has also changed from indirect depictions such as paintings and sculpture to true depictions with pictures and video. And while the naked body was once accepted, praised and put on display in Greek and Roman society, it is considered a taboo to show real life photos of naked people in public.
