This is a comparative study of the national significance of the
classical revival which marked English and French art during the
second half of the nineteenth century. It argues that the main
focus of artists' interest in classical Greece, was the body of the
Greek athlete. It explains this interest, first, by artists'
contact with the art of Pheidias and Polycletus which portrayed it;
and second, by the claim, made by physical anthropologists, that
the classical body typified the race of the European nations.
