Holy Place, Please Remain Silent.

-ART AND ARCHITECTURE- Beautiful renaissance paintings, classical sculptures, modern architecture, art photography - I'm posting everything from the history of art that I find beautiful

Late Classical period (ca. 400-323 BCE)
Aphrodite of Knidos (ca. 350-340 BCE) by Praxiteles (Roman copy). The first nude statue of a goddess. 
More focus on the real world of appearances than to the ideal world of perfect beings. Smaller heads and slimmer bodies. The expression is more passionate and sculptors had a more individual style than earlier.
