Classical art

Classical art refers to the artistic styles and works produced in ancient Greece and Rome, particularly from about the 5th century BC to the 5th century AD. It is characterized by its emphasis on harmony, proportion, and naturalism, aiming to depict the ideal human form and experience. Notable examples include sculptures like Michelangelo's "David" and architectural feats such as the Parthenon. This art influenced later movements, including the Renaissance, shaping Western art and culture with its focus on beauty, balance, and the human experience. Classical art remains a cornerstone of artistic education and appreciation today.
