Featuring decorative, religious, and utilitarian objects from the
Geometric period to the Hellenistic Age, this is the ideal
introduction to Greek sculpture Introducing eight centuries of
Greek sculpture, this latest addition to The Met's compelling and
widely acclaimed How to Read series traces this artistic tradition
from its early manifestations in the Geometric period (ca. 900-700
BCE) through the groundbreaking creativity of the Archaic and
Classical periods to the dramatic achievements of the Hellenistic
Age (323-31 BCE). The 40 works of art featured represent a broad
range of objects and materials, both sacred and utilitarian, in
metal, marble, gold, ivory, and terracotta. Sculptures of deities
and architectural elements are joined by depictions of athletes,
animals, and performers, as well as by funerary reliefs, perfume
vases, and jewelry. The accompanying text both provides insight
into Greek art as a whole and illuminates centuries of Greek life.
Detailed commentaries on each work and an overview of major themes
in Greek art offer a fascinating, object-focused introduction to
one of the most influential cultures in Western civilization.
