Greek sculpture changed radically in the early classical period, becoming much more lifelike. At the same time physicians such as Hippocrates were developing new ideas about human life and health, and philosophers were rethinking their attitudes about nature. Sculptors and Physicians in Fifth-Century Greece is an investigation of how sculptors, physicians, and philosophers interacted at a time crucial to the formation of classical art.
