An increasing amount of realism was portrayed in sculptures, revealing the flaws of the subject rather than an idealized version of the subject that was common in the Archaic period.

What years did the art movement of Hellenistic art under roman patronage?

Hellenistic art was not an art movement. It is the last period of Greek art. It followed the period of classical Greek art. The Hellenistic statues idealised the Greek kings of the Hellenistic States: the Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt, eastern Libya and the eastern part of Turkey's Mediterranean coast, the Seleucid Empire (Syria, Lebanon Palestine, Iraq and the stretch from eastern Turkey to the Indus River in Pakistan) and the kingdom of Pergamon (in western Turkey). These kingdoms were ruled by Greek dynasties following Alexander the Great's conquest of the Persian Empire. Hence the term Hellenistic Sates. The term Hellenistic also refers to ancient Greece's last historical period from Alexander the Great's conquest to Rome's conquest of Greece. The Romans did not patronise Hellenistic art. They adopted it. It became the art of the Romans as well.

How are hellenic and Hellenistic cultures different and alike?

They were alike in that they were all heavily influenced by hundreds of years of Greek culture, art and philosophy. But Hellenic (that is, Greek) culure and Hellenistic cultures were different in that Hellenic culture kept its true, traditional forms while Hellenistic cultures in other countries were only an influence on local culture, art and philosophy but did not replace it. Each and every "Hellenistic" country was different from another by also staying faithful to much of its own traditions in philosophy and art.

What were the chief characteristics of Hellenistic culture?

One of the factors that defined the Hellenistic period was the decreased importance of Greece proper (the territory of modern Greece) with an increase of importance on Hellenistic "culture" in the various foreign colonies. In fact, the centers of Hellenistic culture during the period were not even in Greece, they were, respectively, Alexandria, in Egypt, Antioch, in Syria and Pergamum in Anatolia (modern day Turkey). The term "Hellenistic", by the way, refers to the spreading of Greek culture over the non-Greek peoples that were conquered by Alexander the Great. Hellenistic culture can best be described as a mixture of Greek culture and the cultures they dominated (i.e.: Near Eastern culture). The four main dynasties that came out of the Hellenistic period, post-Alexander the Great, were the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt based at Alexandria; The Antigonid dynasty in Macedon and central Greece; the Attalid dynasty in Anatolia based at Pergamum and the Seleucid dynasty in Syria and Mesopotamia based at Antioch.Hellenistic art perfected the art of "sculpture in the round", meaning sculpture that can be viewed from all sides. Some of the more famous pieces of Hellenistic art are Laocoon, the Venus de Milo and the Gaul Killing His Wife. The Hellenistic period saw the export of Greek art all over the Mediterranean and North Africa, which really solidified and codified the Greek tradition. The Hellenistic period began with the conquest and colonization of foreign lands to be brought under the mantle of Greek control, and grew to be a tribute oriented amalgam of Greek culture and those who were being dominated. It was a period of Imperialism, militarism, and increased wealth and trade for those who lived in the Hellenistic empire. The period can be defined as a time when disparate cultures found a (sometimes forced) commonality of culture and purpose though the traditions of Hellenistic conquerors.

What is the difference between Hellenistic art and Hellenic art?

Hellenistic art was focused more on perfection of the human form, precision and detail. Sculptures from Hellenistic times looked more God-like than human. In contrast, Hellenic art was based on the new idea of realism. Hellenic sculptures were shaped into realistic, faulted human forms. These are the basic differences between the two types.
