... in the 21st century
Since the beginning of the 5th century BC, the representation of the human body has become a priority amongst artists. They were reproduced in different positions and situations, which varied from the ecstasy of love to the tense forms of combat, and the figures reflected, in sculpture and painting, the virtues associated to the physical form. It was around this time that Greek hegemony, a product of the Century of Pericles, defined the classical beauty standard that is transmitted to us and that formed the taste of those who contemplate it.
