Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. This comprehensive work represents the last word in scholarly discussion and meaningful illustration of the astonishing artistic achievement of ancient Greece, the culture to which Western civilization owes more than to any other. This is a former library book with the usual upfront markings, but the body of the book holds up very well and this is a very decent copy of a definitive work dating back to 1967. Hardcover. Condition: Good. Published to their usual very high standards by Thames and Hudson. A beautifully illustrated scholarly discussion on many aspects of ancient Greek architecture and art from the sixth century BC until the end of the Classical period. Includes 52 colour plates tipped in and 320 b/w plates. 30.0 x 24.0cms, 600pp, The section are: architecture (the origins, the orders, the decorations, the buildings' plans & functions); sculpture, painting & the other arts, geometric art, archaic art, the severe style, high classicism, the late classical period, Hellenistic art. Architecture, sculpture, painting, vase painting, and all branches of the applied arts are copiously represented in this survey, which ranges over 1000 years. Greek art remains a constant source of delight and instruction to us because in it we discern all the standards, conventions, strengths and weaknesses that have since been embodied in Western art down to the present day. Moreover, each year fresh researches alter our assessment of it, compelling us to reconsider even the most familiar works. A valuable feature of the work is that the authors do not confine their attention to original works. They also consider Greek and Roman copies which have preserved for posterity the beauty of many important works which have not survived in their original form. This is a heavy item (over 4KG packed) and will require extra postage to ship outside the UK.We pack our books properly and ship daily from the UK. Seller Inventory # ABE-1734006892258
