When you look at Hellenistic art, it's very realistic. The face is very detailed and the muscles are spot on and well defined. In modern times, we use science and technology to study the human anatomy, but back then I guess art was the only way to go. During the Hellenistic period, they really only sculpted fit, young people. It would be interesting to see how those artists would have sculpted a larger, older person.

Also, I think the skill Praxiteles and other artists who use the technique show in their use of the S-curve reflects increased knowledge concerning anatomy and the human form. Like Ross was saying, the statues look like real people, a feat that could not have been accomplished a few centuries prior.
