Erechtheion
Supposedly the battle site between Athena and Poseidon, with an olive tree and a saltwater spout located nearby.
The caryatids in the Erechtheion serve as a means of supporting the top, as well as concealing a large support beam
Caryatids – a draped female figure supporting an entablature in the place of a column or pilaster
Hadrian’s Pleasure PalaceHadrian’s villa exhibited Greek and Egyptian influences, with caryatids and statues of Egyptian gods
Aphrodite of Knidos
The first fully nude and life-sized female form.
Initially rejected version by Praxiteles
Joshua Reynold’s Lady Sarah Bonbury Sacrificing to the Graces
dressed in long robes, not unlike those of classical times
Lack of facial expression makes her resemble a Greek statue rather than a person
The forward step exhibits a shift in weight, similar to the contrapposto used in classical Greek art.
Pantheanaic Procession
Early Classical frieze found on the Parthenon at the Acropolis
Depicts various gods as spectators to the procession
Displays a sense of acceleration and deceleration, where men on horseback are depicted at the back, and a long line grinds the procession to a halt as they approach the statue of Athena
Seated Buddha from Pakistan

Significant amount of attention is given to the robes, which is reminiscent of Greek depictions of people with clothing (Phidian Drapery)
Sleeping Satyr
Hellenistic
Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel
Hellenistic piece depicting a drunken being
(maybe a man) who has collapsed
The spread legs are meant to draw attention to the genitals
Adam’s in a classical reclining pose, not unlike that of the Sleeping Satyr; however, the attention is not his genitals, but the arm reaching out to God
Apollo Belvedre

He has apparently just fired an arrow, as the muscles are still tensed.
