*‘But it is the name of Pheidias that stands out.

‘We get a good idea of his style through the sculptors of the Parthenon at Athens (constructed 449-432BC[E]),** over whose design he has general control. At least here we can examine genuine 5th-century work, whereas most of his other statues are only known to us from copies, often on a small scale. Although there is plenty of life and movement about his compositions on the Parthenon, his style is a quiet, idealising one,*** and the figures are self-contained and inward-looking.’
