Adolf Furtw ngler (1853 1907) was a prominent German archaeologist
and art historian specialising in classical art. He was appointed
assistant Director of the K nigliche Museen zu Berlin in 1880, a
position he held until 1894 when he was appointed professor of
Classical Archaeology in Munich. He is best known for developing
the Kopienkritik approach to studying Roman sculpture, which he
introduces in this volume first published in 1885 and translated
into English by Eugenie Strong in 1895. Kopienkritik is a
methodology which assumes that Roman sculptures are copies of Greek
originals, and that by studying the Roman copies the original Greek
sculpture can be reconstructed. This approach dominated the study
of classical sculpture in the twentieth century and remains
influential despite repeated criticism. Furtw ngler compares the
styles of known classical Greek sculptors with Roman statues to
uncover the original sculptor in this defining example of the
Kopienkritic approach.
