The Eye of Greece - Studies in the Art of Athens (Paperback): Donna Kurtz, Brian Sparkes The Eye of Greece - Studies in the Art of Athens (Paperback)
Donna Kurtz, Brian Sparkes
R949 Discovery Miles 9 490 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Athenian art of the sixth and fifth centuries BC offers the yardstick by which we judge the artistic achievement of the rest of the Greek world, and provides the models on which the later history of Greco-Roman art and much of the art of the later western world are based. The evidence is rich: some long known, like the Parthenon marbles, some fresh from the ground. These six essays, by prominent classical art-historians, British, German and American, explore some of the subjects and problems in the art of Archaic and Classical Athens which have exercised scholars in recent years. The essays are dedicated to Martin Robertson, formerly Lincoln Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art in the University of Oxford, himself a leading scholar of Classical art, and author of the magisterial A History of Greek Art (Cambridge University Press 1976) and of A Shorter History of Greek Art (Cambridge University Press 1981).

A collection of essays dedicated to the memory of Eleni Hatzivassiliou (1977-2007). The range of subjects reflects her broad circle of friends.

Donna Kurtz
R4,653 Discovery Miles 46 530 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Plaster casts of Greek and Roman sculptures provided the principal means of studying classical works of art from the 15th century until the end of the 19th century. This fascinating and ambitious study presents a history of taste, beginning in late medieval Italy and ending in Oxford in 1897, which is also a history of Classical scholarship in Oxford. Illustrated throughout with photographs and drawings of statues, collectors, scholars, buildings and Oxford, Kurtz discusses early collectors of Classical art, Britain's earliest collections, the Grand Tour, 18th-century archaeology and the Classical museums and galleries of Britain. Scholars discussed include Percy Gardner, John Davidson Beazley, Bernard Ashmole, Martin Robertson and John Boardman. Includes a lengthy chronology.
