From the museum describe how two different art periods portrayed the human body How has anatomy influenced art and art influenced anatomy?

The artwork in different time periods portrayed the human body quite differently. For example, one piece of artwork might present a woman with a slightly longer neck. Another art piece might show a woman the same size as a man. Another would portray a man with a larger body and very thin legs. Modern day artwork provides more accurate representations of the human body than classical artwork. Anatomy has helped art advance by providing important information on anatomical positioning. Artists would often attend dissections to further their understanding of the human body.
