The four centuries between the composition of the Homeric epics and
the conquests of Alexander the Great witnessed an immensely
creative period in Greek art, one full of experimentation and
innovation. But time has taken its toll; damaged statues have lost
their colour and wall paintings have been totally destroyed. And
yet sympathetic study of surviving sculpture and of drawing on
vases can give extraordinary insight into and appreciation of these
once brilliant works This book, designed originally for students,
introduces the reader to Greek sculpture and vase painting in the
critical period from the eighth to the fourth centuries BC. The
works discussed are generously illustrated and lucidly analysed to
give a vivid picture of the splendor of Greek art. The up-dated
second edition includes a new chapter examining art in Greek
society, a timeline to help relate artistic development to
historical events, an explanation of how dates BC are arrived at, a
brief overview of Greek temple plans and a further reading list of
recent books. This clear, approachable and rigorous introduction
makes the beauty of Greek art more readily accessible and
comprehensible, balancing description with interpretation and
illustration, and is an invaluable tool to help develop insight,
appreciation and comprehension.
