Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the Greek style of sculpture produced between circa 480 and 450 BCE and considered a transitional period between the Archaic and Classical styles. It is characterized by a greater understanding of anatomy and movement but nonetheless by figures such as the Riace Bronzes which are austere, static, and simplified in form and ornament.
