# Classical Greek Art (古典期ギリシャ美術) — image generation prompt
# IndexStyle No.610 — https://indexstyle.org/styles/classical-greek-art
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images in the visual language of Classical Greek Art, a style from Historical Styles, c. 480–323 BCE.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: expressing proportion, restraint and bodily ideals through pose, or building a classical reference from proportion and weight rather than columns and laurel symbols alone. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- Contrapposto with weight on one leg and opposed shoulder and hip
- Balanced anatomy combining observation and idealization
- Restrained expression and clear contour even in action
- Drapery revealing bodily structure and movement

Someone who knows this style should be able to point at each of these in the finished image.

## How to build it

- Layout and structure: Place weight on one leg, oppose shoulder and hip inclinations, and return the asymmetrical pose to overall balance
- Type and lettering: Keep inscriptional capitals secondary, using balanced widths and open spacing for a quiet order
- Material and surface: Do not mistake today's white marble for an originally colorless world; distinguish stone, bronze and traces of polychromy
- Colour: #E7DCC8 carries the ground, #A15A3C is the colour the style is remembered by, #304C63 holds text and outlines. Read off real works, so treat them as a direction rather than a fixed palette.
- What it should feel like: trust, calm, luxury

## What goes wrong

White busts and colonnades alone drift into later Neoclassicism. Center Classical-period proportion, weight and restrained movement.

## Across the four

Keep every cue above present in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows the range this style covers rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period language described above.
