The Kritios Boy is considered the earliest known example of the use of contrapposto in sculpture, dating from around 480 BC. This technique, where one part of the body is turned in opposition to another (typically, one leg bears the weight while the other is relaxed, creating a slight s-curve in the torso), marked a significant development in the portrayal of the human figure in a more naturalistic manner.
