434 BCE–234 BCE
Alexander's campaigns spread Greek visual language from Egypt to India, creating the Hellenistic synthesis, Greek formal ideals fused with Egyptian, Persian, and Indian visual traditions. The result was the first genuinely international art style, and the model that later empires, including Rome, would emulate.
