Eugenie Strong (nee Sellers, 1860-1943) studied classics at Girton
College, Cambridge, and then classical archaeology in London. Her
translations of Schuchardt's account of Schliemann's excavations at
Troy, and of Furtwangler's Masterpieces of Greek Sculpture, are
also reissued in this series. Among other distinctions, she was the
first female student of the British School at Athens, and in 1909
(partly as a result of the 1907 publication of this book) was
appointed assistant director of the British School at Rome. Roman
sculpture had consistently been regarded as the 'poor relation' of
what was seen as the superior art of Greece, but in this highly
illustrated work, covering the period from Augustus to Constantine,
Strong argues both for its particular aesthetic qualities and also
for its importance as occupying a special place 'at the
psychological moment when the Antique passes from the service of
the Pagan State into that of Christianity'.
Adolf Furtw ngler (1853 1907) was a prominent German archaeologist
and art historian specialising in classical art. He was appointed
assistant Director of the K nigliche Museen zu Berlin in 1880, a
position he held until 1894 when he was appointed professor of
Classical Archaeology in Munich. He is best known for developing
the Kopienkritik approach to studying Roman sculpture, which he
introduces in this volume first published in 1885 and translated
into English by Eugenie Strong in 1895. Kopienkritik is a
methodology which assumes that Roman sculptures are copies of Greek
originals, and that by studying the Roman copies the original Greek
sculpture can be reconstructed. This approach dominated the study
of classical sculpture in the twentieth century and remains
influential despite repeated criticism. Furtw ngler compares the
styles of known classical Greek sculptors with Roman statues to
uncover the original sculptor in this defining example of the
Kopienkritic approach.
