What historical periods saw peaks in concrete figurative sculpture production?
Concrete figurative sculpture has seen significant peaks in production during several historical periods. The Classical era, particularly in Ancient Greece and Rome (5th century BCE to 2nd century CE), marked a golden age for lifelike human statues. The Renaissance (14th–17th centuries) revived classical techniques, producing masterpieces like Michelangelo's David. The Baroque period (17th–18th centuries) added dramatic movement and emotion to figurative works. Modernism (late 19th–20th centuries) saw experimental approaches while maintaining figurative elements. Each period reflected its cultural values through evolving styles in concrete sculpture.
