It was the age in which art took quite developed forms, human thought reached its highest point having established the pillars of antology, knowledge and ethics, when creativity and genius tried to discover the natures itself of harmony and freedom. These statues are perfect. But who made them? Phidias? Polycletus or Miro? An artist working in Magna Graecia? Since there are no clear testimonies and records about them, many doubts still remain. We don't know the author of such masterpeieces. He must have been undoubtedly a skilful bronze-craftsman and a sensible artist, who most probably lived in the 5th century B.C. |
