In what ways do art historians define artistic styles?

Art historians define artistic styles by the period in which the art was created, cultural groups and training. Art historians examine the meanings and ideas behind an artist work, as well as the cultural context in which the work was made. Many factors influence an artist style such as social and political events, an artist's education or upbringing, materials used, the purpose behind the art and the meaning being conveyed.
