The Greek Humanism Movement

The Greeks started an intellectual movement that embodied and cherished the human body, and the movement is called Greek Humanism. This culture created gods and goddesses which helped thrive the culture and brought the people closer to each other and the spiritual afterlife. This concept helped the architectural minded to flourish and which eventually help build the Greek “Parthenon”, which is standing today after being built in 432 BC. This movement emphasized the potential of a human that can attain and promote the art, literature, and the civilization of Greece and Rome. The movement helped the thriving culture who had many of the top, and influential philosophers, dramatists, historians, and statements that lived in Greece or Athens

In the West, the art of the Roman Empire was largely derived from Greek models. In the East, Alexander the Great's conquests initiated several centuries of exchange between Greek, Central Asian and Indian cultures.

Modern Greek art, after the establishment of the Greek Kingdom, began to be developed around the time of Romanticism. Greek artists absorbed many elements from their European colleagues, resulting in the culmination of the distinctive style of Greek Romantic art, inspired by revolutionary ideals as well as the country's geography and history.
