What is the prototype of the ideal man throughout history?

ideal man prototype

For a purely cultural issue, the beauty of women has always been more appreciated than that of a man. Of which there is no doubt is that the image is the first thing we see of a person.

The physicist is the personal calling card. Throughout history, the prototype of the ideal man has had some variations. But the same background has always been maintained.

Ancient history and the ideal man prototype

From Prehistory we have very few representations of men alluding to their masculine beauty. Rather, the actions he carried out were drawn: hunting, making tools and utensils, fire, agriculture, art, etc.

In ancient egypt, the canons of beauty were associated with harmony and perfection. Everything in the human body was proportions.

In the greek world, athletic proportions prevailed. They were well-defined bodies, especially in terms of bodybuilding.

Rome and the Middle Ages and Renaissance

In Rome there was everything. And since his history is so long, in some stages the man had a beard, curly hair, in others not, etc. Little by little the Germans arrived, and the beard and long hair settled down.

At Lóleo Eventos, Middle Ages religious fervor was the order of the day. The control of the Church is total, and the figures without clothes are not represented.

Along the Renaissance, the canon of masculine beauty is sought, idealized. An exaltation of human proportions, seeking the perfection and concealment of feelings.

The baroque was appearance and pomposity. Men's hair (with wigs), white skin and rosy cheeks stand out.
