Greek art marks and determines the foundations of modern civilization, through its closely concatenated phases of cultural, social and expressive evolution.

[Ancient Greece. From art as harmony to the anguish of disenchantment]. Never in the history of the world has such a small, divisive people, scattered in a difficult territory, managed to give artistic form to the great questions of mankind: the meaning of existence, destiny, emotions, nature, life and death. Greek art marks and determines the foundations of modern civilization, through its closely concatenated phases of cultural, social and expressive evolution.
From the archaic smile to the torment of Hellenism, passing through the captivating achievements of the severe style and the Athens of Pericles and Phidias, we see a sequence of solemn temples, memorable sculptures, splendid painted ceramics. But above all, we can observe lucid faith in man, in the resources of the mind, in the capacity to “measure” the universe.
