Towards classicism : Aristodikos
Aristodikos. Marble, circa 500 B.C.
1.95m tall
The name Aristodikos is carved at the statue's base.
This Kouros ("young man") has short hair and the hands are not attached to the sides of the body. The statue with its more rounded, less stylized characteristics, and with its light pose (it is not as "stiff" as other kouroi,) represents a forward step in the development of art, and prepares the ground for the eventual move towards classical sculpture.
