This new account of Greek art from c800 to 323BC shows how sculptors and painters responded to the challenges of the formidable and ambitious world in which the Greek city-state was created and developed. Ranging widely over sculpture, vase painting and the minor arts, the book provides a stimulating introduction to the art of archaic and classical Greece. The symbols and images of the eastern Mediterranean on the one hand, and the narratives of the Greek poets on the other, produced the rich diversity of forms apparent in Greek art. By looking closely at the context in which and for which sculptures and paintings were produced, as well as at religion and myth, politics and the economy, the book shows how artistic developments were both a product of, and contributed to, the intensely competitive life of the Greek city.
