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.
