Quote: "Apart from the heads of portrait sculptures, the bodies were highly idealized but achieved an unprecedented degree of naturalism."
Quote: "In addition to free-standing statues, the term classical sculpture incorporates relief work (such as the famous Elgin Marbles of the Parthenon) and the flatter bas-relief style."
Quote: "Although making large or monumental sculptures almost ceased in the Early Middle Ages and in Byzantine art..."
Quote: "...it greatly revived in the Italian Renaissance as Roman examples were excavated."
Quote: "Classical sculpture remained a great influence until at least the 19th century."
