(P/B) GREEK SCULPTURE

Παρουσίαση

Greek Sculpture presents a chronological overview of the plastic and glyptic art forms in the ancient Greek world from the emergence of life-sized marble statuary at the end of the seventh century BC to the appropriation of Greek sculptural traditions by Rome in the first two centuries AD.
Compares the evolution of Greek sculpture over the centuries to works of contemporaneous Mediterranean civilizations
Emphasizes looking closely at the stylistic features of Greek sculpture, illustrating these observations where possible with original works rather than copies
Places the remarkable progress of stylistic changes that took place in Greek sculpture within a broader social and historical context
Facilitates an understanding of why Greek monuments look the way they do and what ideas they were capable of expressing
Focuses on the most recent interpretations of Greek sculptural works while considering the fragile and fragmentary evidence uncovered. (From the publisher)
