Pakistan: Standing Buddha, Gandhara, 3rd to 4th century. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Gandhara is noted for the distinctive Gandhara style of Buddhist art, which developed out of a merger of Greek, Syrian, Persian, and Indian artistic influence. This development began during the Parthian Period (50 BCE – 75 CE). Gandharan style flourished and achieved its peak during the Kushan period, from the 1st to the 5th century.
