Hellenistic artworks are celebrated for innovations such as
narrative, characterization, and description. The most striking
examples are works associated with the Hellenistic courts. Their
revolutionary appearance is usually attributed to Alexander the
Great's conquest of the Near East, the start of the Hellenistic
kingdoms, and Greek-Eastern interactions. In Rhetoric and
Innovation in Hellenistic Art, Kristen Seaman offers a new approach
to Hellenistic art by investigating an internal development in
Greek cultural production, notably, advances in rhetoric.
Rhetorical education taught kings, artists, and courtiers how to be
Greek, giving them a common intellectual and cultural background
from which they approached art. Seaman explores how rhetorical
techniques helped artists and their royal patrons construct
Hellenism through their innovative art in the scholarly atmospheres
of Pergamon and Alexandria. Drawing upon artistic, literary, and
historical evidence, this interdisciplinary study will be of
interest to students and scholars in art and archaeology, Classics,
and ancient history.
