The Art of Greece and Rome
Description
In The Art of Greece and Rome Susan Woodford illuminates the bully achievements of classical art and architecture and conveys a sense of the excitement that fired the artistic artists of the ancient world. The Greeks were quick to claiming time-honored styles and, stimulated by the problems that sometimes emerged from their daring innovations, they invented solutions that have been considered classics ever since. The Romans recognized the Greek accomplishment and built on it, adding a talent for organization and flair for architectural construction on a huge scale to create an impressive fine art of their own. This edition includes a new chapter on art throughout the Roman empire, new illustrations, updated bibliography and glossary.
