Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. « A major collection of ancient Greek art, assembled by Baltimore businessman Henry Walters (1848 - 1931) and supplemented by recent gifts and acquisitions, is presented here in this lavishly illustrated volume. The collection of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore includes exquisite and historically important pieces: Cycladic idols that represent some of the only material artifacts of an enigmatic culture; major examples of the various schools of pottery design and decoration; Roman copies of Greek Classical sculpture that continues to define our ideals of the human body; the opulent and intricate jewelry of the Olbia Treasure. The collection is presented in chronological order with an essay introducing each period, contextualizing the works and tracing the development of artistic themes and techniques. Each piece is then discussed individually and in comparison with other known works, to bring out its distinctive features and to emphasize its contribution to our understanding of the customs and values of the period. These lucid and scholarly analyses enable the reader to appreciate the depth of cultural wealth embodied in this magnificent collection.». Seller Inventory # R4885
