Kouros statue

Reproduction of a Kouros statue, a type of freestanding male sculpture that was prominent during the Archaic period of Greek. This period of art spans roughly from the 7th century BCE to the early 5th century BCE. The term kouros comes from the Greek word for “youth” or “young man.” These statues were typically carved from marble or limestone and were used as votive offerings in sanctuaries or as grave markers.
Kouros statues exhibit a highly stylized and idealized representation of the human body. The proportions of the body are typically elongated and geometric, with an emphasis on symmetry.
Kouros statues are typically depicted in a state of nudity, which serves as a symbol of youthful purity and the idealized human form. The depiction of nudity was common in ancient Greek art, particularly during the Archaic period.
