visual paragon

[johncomic]

Many of the ancient Greek sculptors were trying to capture the human form in its purely idealized state, seeking to portray physical perfection.

If you were set with the task of creating a similar marble statue [assuming you had the skills, natch!], seeking to portray a visual ideal from head to foot... but you had to base your sculpture on an actual person... who would you pick? Talking about physical appearance only, and taking every feature into account, who would you nominate as the person who comes closest to being perfect?

I have often seen Grace Kelly in these terms.
