| Sumario: | This article analyzes the influence of the philosophical environment on the development of classical Greek art, focusing on sculpture from the 6th and 5th centuries BCE. Starting from the question of how ideas and philosophy affect artistic creation, it examines the transition from mythological and naturalistic thought to rationalism, as reflected in the aesthetic and technical evolution of sculpture. Through a comparison between “The Brothers Cleobis and Biton” by Polymedes of Argos and “The Discobolus” by Myron, the article highlights the shift from Egyptian rigidity to naturalistic movement as a manifestation of spirit and philosophical thought. The analysis draws on the contributions of Hegel, Plato, and Maritain, who argue that art is an expression of intellect and cultural context. It concludes that classical Greek sculpture is a privileged testimony to the interaction between philosophy, culture, and creativity, and that the artwork serves as a vehicle for truth and beauty, always referring to its author and its era. |
