Take a look at these ancient Greek sculptures, which one do you think shows the most modern qualities? (Which one do you think was made most recently?)
• sculpture of Zeus
• sculpture of Archaic
Greek Kouros
• sculpture of Aphrodite of Knidos
• sculpture of Hermes with the infant Dionysus
• sculpture of Discobolus
It is important to note that all of these sculptures were created during ancient Greek times and none were made recently. However, if we were to consider which sculpture exhibits more modern qualities, the sculpture of the Discobolus might be a strong contender. The Discobolus, also known as the Discus Thrower, is a sculpture that captures the human form in motion and displays an athletic build. Its anatomical accuracy and portrayal of movement give it a sense of dynamism that could be considered more modern in terms of artistic representation.
