Plato: Thought works of art should seek perfection. For him this was perfect symmetry and proportion. This could be called idealism.

Idealism or Naturalism?
The naturalism of Ife sculpture led 20th Century Europeans to question whether it was from Africa because it went against all of their assertions of the “primitive” ideal of African art.

Tromp l’oeil–
The use of naturalism to create an image or sculpture that causes the viewer to believe it is an actual object and not just a visual representation.
This phenomenon becomes even more exaggerated in a 20th-century art movement called Photorealism.
