Question

which artwork was made by the classical greek sculptor, polykleitos, to perfectly demonstrate the naturalistic principle of contrapposto (which means counter - poised)?
○ hatshepsut kneeling
○ portrait of akhenaten
○ the david
○ the doryphoros

Explanation:

Polykleitos' Doryphoros (Spear - bearer) is renowned for exemplifying the contrapposto principle. It shows a naturalistic stance with weight shifted onto one leg, creating a relaxed, dynamic posture. Hatshepsut kneeling is an Egyptian work, the Portrait of Akhenaten is also Egyptian, and The David is by Michelangelo.

Answer:

The Doryphoros
