Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the end of the Hellenistic period and style, from around 150 to around 31 BCE. It is characterized by the accelerated decline of the Hellenistic world and the disintegration of established artistic schools. It is known for a rapid proliferation of diverse styles, including an invigorated neo-Classicism that combines elements of various Classical styles, a "baroque" revival style typified by emotion, asymmetry, and movement, and a style that is outright copying of Classical works.
