About This Book

A concise survey of sculpture from the Hellenistic period, organized by regional schools—Pergamon, Alexandria, Rhodes, mainland Greece—and a chapter on Greco‑Roman developments. It outlines stylistic shifts toward greater naturalism, expressive movement, dramatic composition, individualized portraiture and a widening range of subjects, and considers sculptural techniques and typologies through selected plates and museum examples. The narrative traces relationships between local workshops, major monuments and later Roman adaptation, while offering references and an appendix that gathers the author’s published work and sources for further study.
