Art of Ancient Greece

Rick Steves’ Europe Season 12 showcases Europe’s great art and architecture. © 2024 | Ancient Greece laid the foundations of Western art. Traveling from its sun-splashed isles to the rugged mainland to bustling Athens, we trace the rise of Greek culture. We marvel at the timeless Acropolis, perfect Parthenon, and Golden Age theaters. And we watch as art evolves from stiff statues to perfectly balanced Venuses to the exuberant Winged Victory, capturing the spirit of the age. #ricksteveseurope #artofeurope #arthistory

The ultimate achievements in art and architecture. Nobody will surpass the ancient Greeks. We can only imitate them.

I grew up watching PBS with my grandma, hearing that intro brought back so many lovely memories.
You made these concepts come to life in a way that I as an 8 year old could understand, and now as an adult I can truly appreciate. Thank you for making such a valuable series.

Rome, Venice, Paris, London
All the great Greek art isn’t in Greece anymore

[@ageofechochambers9469]

You have to appreciate western self congratulation in every aspect. They are the "main character " in every historical event even if they didn't exist yet .
Basically the romans and Greeks took most of their ideas from Egyptians and Babylonians , but as far as the westerner is concerned it all started with the greeks 1000s of years later .
Fyi the vast majority of ppl ( Northern Europeans and Americans) who brag about western "civilization " were roman slaves back in the day rome didnt recognize them as civilized ppl .
Its the equivalent of an Indian bragging about British accomplishments when they were just a British colony amd never part of Britain !!!

[@alfredo2506]

So, let us Europeans, descendants of slaves, praise, not hate, our forefathers' masters, for the legacy and good life we inherited. I hope that North, Central, South, and African Americans also are appreciative.

You're just peddling antiwhite nonsense. Why are you so jealous and envious of Westernkind?
