ABSTRACT

This essay examines the profound impact of ancient Greece's social and cultural milieu on its sculptural art forms. The sculptural and architectural arts of ancient Greece were the result of their society, religion, politics, and philosophy being fully embodied. Both the form and content of their artistic creations were significantly influenced by philosophical thought, especially the spirit of humanism and conceptualism. Ancient Greece's religious theological beliefs significantly influenced its artistic style, with images of deities and mythological stories emerging as major themes. At the same time, the democratic system of Athens encouraged artistic expression and innovation. Ancient Greek sculpture and architecture, with their pursuit of rationality, harmony, and beauty, demonstrate the ancient Greeks' profound understanding of the human spiritual and material worlds, revealing how the social and cultural environment of ancient Greece influenced and shaped the morphological characteristics of their sculptural art, and how these characteristics became a significant cornerstone of Western art.
