{wiki=Corinthian_Figures}
Corinthian figures are a style of ornate and decorative figures in ancient Greek art, particularly associated with the Corinthian order of architecture. The Corinthian order, one of the classical orders of ancient Greek architecture, is characterized by its elaborate column capitals adorned with acanthus leaves and scrolls. In the context of sculpture or art, Corinthian figures often depict mythological themes, deities, or life-sized human forms that reflect the aesthetic and cultural values of Corinth during its height.
