Answer: Naturalism

Explanation: Naturalism as a feature of the Hellenistic period in art, which refers to sculpture, is also one of the most respected features in art in general. It is well known that the Hellenistic period of art, with its accentuated naturalism, was the inspiration, role model, and turning point of Renaissance art. Of course, this trend in sculpture and art has evolved over the centuries, and naturalism itself has been achieved and perfected through expressive movement, realistic anatomy and ornate details. All this contributed to the emphasis on the human body and the anatomy, movement, expression of emotions and other aspirations of ordinary people through details. All this later, as stated, was a model for emphasising the central role of man in nature, not god or gods during the Renaissance. Speaking of the Hellenistic period, in that emphasis on the human body and naturalism, it went as far as to say that the anatomy of the human body was presented ideally.
