Greek and Roman Sculpture: A Popular Introduction to the History of Greek and Roman Sculpture (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Greek and Roman Sculpture: A Popular Introduction to the History of Greek and Roman Sculpture
The work is mainly based, as all such works must be, on the researches and criticisms of German archaeologists. But while the Author has gladly availed himself oftheir aid, as well as that of the many distinguished writers on the same subject in England, France, and Italy, he has endeavoured, by a diligent study of the sources of art-history, and, above all, by a familiar and loving acquaintance with the originals of all the works of art referred to in the following pages, to free himself from the tyranny of great names and to form an independent judgment.
It is hardly necessary to say that the illustrations are not offered as works of art, or as representative of the beau/y of the originals from which they are taken. With some exceptions they aim at nothing more than to re mind one class of readers of what they have already seen, and to indicate to another what they are to look for on entering for the first time a museum of ancient marbles.
