Ancient greek art.
Bare men were the most common subjects of Egyptian statues, which were designed to depict a hierarchical nature. This image of man influenced Greek Statues, which emphasized the human figure in the same way that Egyptian gods were depicted. As a result, there are several parallels between Khafre’s and Kouros’ sculptures. Each one, for instance, exhibit rigorous symmetry, which is employed to accentuate the body’s form. They usually sculpt the form to give it a broad appearance, whereas the Greeks would sculpt with greater attention to anatomy. Both statues, however make use of geometric shapes to reflect the human figure.
