Description
Greek sculptors always created ideal creatures. They had a very defined idea of perfection which should always be represented through art. Therefore the objective of art is not to depict reality but to depict the perfect image that reality can not achieve.
Part of the Antiquities Sale on the 5th of July 2017, at Christie's London, King Street.
