Hellenic art definition

Hellenic art refers to artwork made in places influenced by Greece and in Greece itself from around 1100 BC - 100 BC.  Six stylistic stages make up Hellenic art including: 1) the Protogeometric period from 1100 - 900 BC, 2) the Geometric period 900 - 700 BC, 3) the Orientalizing period from 700 - 600 BC, 4) the Archaic period from 600 - 500 BC, 5) the Classical period from 500 - 323 BC and 6) the Hellenistic period from 323 - 100 BC.  Rome gradually took in Hellenic art and made its own version of it during the 2nd and 1st centuries BC due to Roman political influence.
