Ancient Greek sculpture represents one of the most influential artistic movements in the history of art. The statues created by the ancient Greeks in the Classical and Hellenistic ages provided the foundation not only for Roman sculpture, but also for western sculpture as we know it today. The Classical Period 5th to 4th century BC began after the defeat of the Persian invasion at the battle of Marathon in 490. A renewed sense of optimism led the artists to strive for an improved sense of reality in their sculpture. The most significant advancement of this period came in the form of the contrapposto stance.
