I11-R97-article-95882025-12-03T17:52:22Z The influence of the philosophical environment on the art of Classical Greece (6th and 5th centuries BC) La Influencia del ambiente filosófico en el arte de la Grecia Clásica (s. VI y V a C.) Pelegrina, Victor Lionel Grecia filosofía escultura movimiento Platón Hegel Maritain Greece philosophy movement Plato Hegel Maritain 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. El presente trabajo buscó vislumbrar la influencia del ambiente filosófico en el desarrollo del arte griego clásico, centrándose en la escultura de los siglos VI y V a.C. A partir de la pregunta sobre cómo las ideas y la filosofía inciden en la creación artística, se examinó la transición desde el pensamiento mitológico y naturalista hacia el racionalismo, reflejada en la evolución estética y técnica de la escultura. Mediante la comparación entre “Los hermanos Cleobis y Biton” de Polímedes y “El discóbolo” de Mirón, se evidenció el paso de la rigidez del primer estilo griego (influencia egipcia) al movimiento naturalista posterior, como manifestación del pensamiento filosófico. El análisis se apoyó en Hegel, Platón y Maritain. Se concluyó que la escultura griega clásica constituye un testimonio de la interacción entre filosofía, cultura y creatividad, y que la obra de arte es vehículo de verdad y belleza, remitiendo siempre a su autor.
