A History of Greek Sculpture is a comprehensive study of the development of Greek art from the earliest times until the end of the Hellenistic period. Written by Rufus Byam Richardson and first published in 1911, the book explores the evolution of Greek sculpture through the different periods of Greek history, from the Geometric period to the Roman conquest.The book begins with an overview of the earliest forms of Greek sculpture, including the Cycladic and Minoan styles, before moving on to examine the emergence of the Archaic period and the development of the kouros and kore figures. Richardson then explores the Classical period, which saw the rise of the idealized human form and the creation of some of the most famous sculptures in history, such as the Parthenon frieze and the statue of Zeus at Olympia.The book also covers the Hellenistic period, which saw a shift towards more emotional and dramatic sculptures, as well as the influence of non-Greek cultures on Greek art. Throughout the book, Richardson provides detailed analysis of individual sculptures, as well as broader discussions of the cultural, political, and social contexts in which they were created.A History of Greek Sculpture is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of art, classical studies, or ancient Greek culture. With its detailed descriptions, insightful analysis, and beautiful illustrations, it offers a fascinating glimpse into one of the world's most influential artistic traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
