Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This revised edition of John Griffiths Pedley's 1992 survey covers 3000 years of Greek history with nearly 400 illustrations & an authoritative text that centers on material culture, especially pottery, statuary & architecture. Greek Art & Archaeology incorporates recent scholarship on matters such as influences from the Near East & the spread of Greek ideas to other parts of the Mediterranean. Of special interest is Pedley's building-by-building history of the Parthenon, including a useful survey of its metopes & friezes. He also offers well-considered stylistic notes on familiar objects, such as the Laocoön group & the Nike of Samothrace.
