For more than 2,000 years the art of Greece and Rome has lain at
the heart of western civilization. This book recaptures the
excitement of the artists who first created it. It traces the
daring innovations of those who, defying traditional wisdom,
explored new ideas; it describes the valiant struggles of sculptors
and painters to portray - for the first time - both the
complexities of the human form and the richness of human emotions.
So much has been destroyed by the ravages of time that Greek and
Roman art seems to consist only of impressive ruins and broken
fragments. Yet the creative achievements of the Greeks and their
legacy, as adapted by the Romans, have never lost their power.
