Abstract

The egyptian culture consistently maintained a powerful belief in the afterlife. As a result, tombs were lavished with clothing, furniture, and paintings to nourish the Ka or soul. Most importantly, statues were erected should anything happen to the body in which the soul must inhabit. The physical representation of these statues was not nearly as important as the symbolic meaning of them. Although the greek art culture was partially influenced by egyptian drawings and sculptures, individual greek artists began to break away from the limitations of Ancient Egypt and develop their own figural compositions and techniques as they progressed forward into history. By the Late Classical period, the Greeks were capturing fully-developed, accurate, and proportional images that were stunningly realistic, resulting from personal decisions. Consequently, the difference in artwork produced by both civilizations can be traced back to and explained by their cultural belief disparities.
