From its foundation in 1888, The Art Museum, Princeton
University, has amassed an impressive collection of ancient Greek
sculpture, which, along with the museum's other collections of
ancient art, has long played an integral role in the training of
art historians and archaeologists. This book is a comprehensive
catalog of The Art Museum's ancient Greek sculpture. Here a team of
scholars headed by Brunilde Ridgway thoroughly documents each of
the forty pieces that constitute this broad and diverse collection.
The collection includes gravestones, votive reliefs, and portraits
of poets, playwrights, and philosophers, as well as representations
of gods and goddesses, satyrs, centaurs, nymphs, and sphinxes. The
resulting catalog will be a valuable tool to anyone wishing to
learn about the world of ancient Greece.
The catalog covers both original works of Greek stone sculpture
as well as Roman sculptures that copy or owe their inspiration to
earlier Greek works. Photographs of each piece are accompanied by
information on dating, provenance, material, dimensions, and
condition and by a detailed description and an analysis placing the
piece in its artistic and historical contexts.
