Description
Ancient Greek sculpture continues to provoke reactions today, ranging from awe to alienation. To understand its 'Classic' status, it's essential to know how and why it was created. This richly-illustrated survey explores works from c. 700 BC to the end of antiquity, examining both the social function and aesthetic/technical achievement of Greek sculpture. Nigel Spivey provides a detailed account, weaving together source material and historical narratives to put the art into its proper context. Suitable for students of classics, classical civilization, art history, and archaeology, as well as those with an interest in the subject, this book offers a sympathetic and informative exploration of Greek sculpture.
