Summary

An introductory-level textbook for students with little or no background in ancient art. Arranged chronologically from the Bronze and Iron Ages through the Geometric, Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods, and concluding with Greece under the Roman Empire, it focuses on Greek art but also incorporates Near Eastern, Etruscan, and Roman objects. The author examines a variety of media, analyzing marble and bronze sculpture, public architecture, and vase painting, as well as coins, domestic architecture, mosaics, terracotta figurines and reliefs, jewelry, armor, and wall painting. This book adopts an approach that considers objects and monuments within their cultural contexts
