Classical sculpturerefers loosely to the forms ofsculpturefromAncient GreeceandAncient Rome, as well as the Hellenized and Romanized civilizations under their rule or influence from about 500 BC to around 200 AD. More precisely it refers toAncient Greek sculpturefrom around 500 BC to the onset of theHellenisticstyle around 323 BC.It may also refer stylistically to later sculpture done in aNeoclassicalor classical style.
