ARTH 11.02 Alexander to Cleopatra: Art in an Unsettled World

This course examines the principal works of architecture, sculpture, and painting in the Greek world, from the fourth through the first centuries BCE., a period of significant political and art-historical change and innovation. In the reign of Alexander the Great, Greek culture expanded beyond its borders to encompass Egypt and Western Asia. Particular emphasis will be given to important discoveries associated with the court of Alexander, his father Philip II, and some of his best-known successors, including the last one: Cleopatra of Egypt.
