14. The Hellenistic Styles in Greek Sculpture

From the book Volume 1 Handbook of Greek Sculpture

  • Marion Meyer

Abstract

This chapter reconsiders the criteria for stylistic analysis of Hellenistic sculpture and the usefulness and limits of such an analysis for relative and absolute chronology. It maintains the traditional division into three distinctive phases (Early, High and Late) and highlights their characteristics. From the early second century οn, there are classicistic and progressive trends side by side.
