In this study, originally published in 1926, Sir Charles Walston
sets forward his theory on the 'turning-point' in Classical Greek
art in the second quarter of the fifth century BC, which he
connects with the creation of the western pediment of the Temple of
Olympia by the sculptor Alcamenes. Walston examines the treatment
of certain aspects of the human body in Greek art, such as the eye
and the male nude, and how such treatments changed during the
Classical period. A more general survey of the other works of
Alcamenes is also included. This richly illustrated and detailed
book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Classical art
and its development.
