The Hellenistic Age brought about a widespread liberation of parameters for sculptors in the Greek world
The Hellenistic Age brought about a widespread liberation of parameters for sculptors in the Greek world. Please develop a paper in which you compare and contrast the differences and similarities between two periods of ancient Greek sculptural development as a result of the influence of the Hellenistic Age. Your paper should consider two examples of sculpture – one from the Classical period and one from the Hellenistic Age. Your paper should also contain content which addresses the following four questions:
- What techniques or features are unique to the sculpture of this period -both Classical and Hellenistic?
- What was the focus of the artists of these periods-what themes or ideals were they trying to display?
- Why is the sculptural example you’ve chosen a good representation of the ideals of the period?
- Describe the political changes that occurred between the Classical and Hellenistic Ages. How did these changes affect the sculptors and their work?
