Contrapposto definition

Contrapposto is an Italian term used in the visual arts to describe the stance of a figure, typically in sculpture, where the weight of the body is shifted onto one leg, causing the hips and shoulders to rest at opposing angles, resulting in a graceful and naturalistic pose. This pose originated in ancient Greek sculpture and was later revived during the Renaissance as artists sought to emulate classical ideals of beauty and balance.
