Course Objective

Emphasizing on individual characteristics in plastic arts began to be evident at the end of the late Classical period. The evolving stylistic styles provided the creation of a qualified art that allowed the reading of the artefact's physiognomy. Some of these artefacts, which have succeeded to reach today, allow access to the style of clothing specific to the private or official life of historical figures, hairstyles and more. Therefore, they are the living proof of the social, cultural and political life of the time. In this context, in this course, portraits of historical figures depicted on various materials from the Late Classical period to the end of the Hellenistic period will be discussed.
