description Phidias Overview
Phidias is the legendary sculptor of Ancient Greece, responsible for the monumental statues of Athena and Zeus that defined the classical aesthetic. While his original works are largely lost, his influence on the Parthenon friezes and the development of the 'ideal' human form set the standard for Western art for millennia. He was the master of the High Classical style, emphasizing balance, proportion, and divine grace. His work established the foundational principles of figurative sculpture, making him an essential figure in the history of the medium.
