who created a statue of the idealized male thus creating the greek canon of proportions?
polykleitos
another statue created by polykleitos is the "doryphoros", also called the "spear bearer". it is a typical greek sculpture depicting the beauty of the male body. “polykleitos sought to capture the ideal proportions of the human figure in his statues and developed a set of aesthetic principles governing these proportions that was known as the canon or ‘rule.’ ” he created the system based on mathematical ratios. “though we do not know the exact details of polykleitos’s formula, the end result, as manifested in the doryphoros, was the perfect expression of what the greeks called symmetria.” on this sculpture, it shows somewhat of a contrapposto pose; the body is leaning most on the right leg. “the proportions of the doryphoros together with the perfect balance between tension and relaxation, create a visual image of harmony.” the doryphoros has an idealized body, contains less of naturalism. in his left hand, there was once a spear, but if so it has since been lost. it was believed that either the sculpture was a normal civilian, or he could be achilles going off to war. the posture of the body shows that he is a warrior and a hero.
