Originally published in 1903, and delivered as a lecture the
previous year, this book by Charles Waldstein, former director of
the Fitzwilliam Museum, suggests that the nineteenth century was an
age of artistic expansion, both in terms of subject matter and of
method. Waldstein addresses painting, literature, architecture,
music and decorative art in his comprehensive study. This book will
be of value to anyone with an interest in continuity and change in
artistic expression in the nineteenth century.
Originally published in 1885, this book examines the extant works
of the Greek sculptor Pheidias, best known as the creator of the
Parthenon Marbles and the gold and ivory statue of Zeus at Olympia,
which was considered to be one of the seven wonders of the ancient
world. Waldstein examines the Parthenon Marbles with particular
scrutiny and charts the relationship between Pheidias' school and
the development of later Greek art, particularly sepulchral
reliefs. Four earlier papers by Waldstein on the topic of Pheidias
are also reprinted here. This book will be of value to anyone with
an interest in ancient Greek sculpture.
Originally published in 1914, and previously delivered as lectures
to students at the Royal Academy Art School in 1913, this book by
Charles Waldstein, then director of the Fitzwilliam Museum,
provides an introduction to the study of sculpture. The text is
richly illustrated with a variety of examples ranging from the
earliest Daedalic forms through classical and Hellenistic art to
the more modern examples of Meunier and Millet. This book will be
of value to anyone seeking an introduction to sculpture or with an
interest in art history.
