Kouros

Humanism is the philosophy where the human form and reason are at the center of all things. Greeks were interested in the recognizable and physical world rather than the afterlife and nature. They created ideal sculptures from universal features such as the perfect nose, torso, and other body parts rather than making different body types that they felt were not perfect. To the Greeks humans were the center of all things and the supreme subject of art. The picture shown in the assessment is known as Kroisos found in Anavyssos. This marble sculpture is dated back to 530 BCE sculpted by an unknown artist. This sculpture is from the archaic period for many reasons. The archaic period is responsible for the introduction of the kouroi.
