Western culture’s journey starts in ancient Greece, with philosophers and sculptors shaping thought and form. Rome absorbed Greece. The Middle Ages brought spirituality to art. The Renaissance celebrated human potential, leading to the Enlightenment’s reason. The Industrial Revolution sparked Romantic awe of nature amidst machines.
