Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the Greek style of sculpture produced by Phidias during the second half of the 5th century BCE. Identified with the sculptural decoration of the Parthenon, it is characterized by naturalism, monumentality, and a quiet majesty conveyed in simple poses and gestures that reveal a mastery of human anatomy.
