Greek Art History and Sitemap

By Art periods and styles ,
Greek art began in the Cycladic and Minoan civilization, and gave birth to Western classical art in the subsequent Geometric, Archaic and Classical periods (with further developments during the Hellenistic Period).
It absorbed influences of Eastern civilizations, of Roman art and its patrons, and the new religion of Orthodox Christianity in the Byzantine era and absorbed Italian and European ideas during the period of Romanticism (with the invigoration of the Greek Revolution), until the Modernist and Postmodernist.
Greek art is mainly five forms: architecture, sculpture, painting, pottery and jewelry making.

L'arte greca ebbe inizio nelle civiltà cicladica e minoica, e diede vita all'arte classica occidentale nei successivi periodi geometrico, arcaico e classico (con ulteriori sviluppi durante il periodo ellenistico).
Assorbì gli influssi delle civiltà orientali, dell'arte romana e dei suoi mecenati, e della nuova religione del cristianesimo ortodosso in epoca bizantina ed assorbì idee italiane ed europee durante il periodo del Romanticismo (con il rinvigorimento della Rivoluzione greca), fino all'epoca modernista e Postmodernista.
L'arte greca è principalmente cinque forme: architettura, scultura, pittura, ceramica e creazione di gioielli.
