Doryphoros (Spear Bearer)

Bronze statue By POLYKLEITOS
Pompeii, Italy ca. 450-440 BCE
Polykleitos sought to portray the perfect man to impose order on human movement. Achieved through harmonic proportions and a system of cross- balancing for all parts of the body.
The Doryphoros (Spear Bearer) is the culmination of the evolution in Greek statuary.
