by John Boardman (Author)

See all formats and editions

This is the last in the series of Sir John Boardman's acclaimed handbooks on Greek sculpture; a sequel to similar volumes on the Archaic and Classical periods. Here, the story continues through the fourth century B.C. to the days of Alexander the Great. The innovations of the period are discussed, such as the female nude and portraiture, along with many important monuments including the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus and several of the great names such as Praxiteles and Lysippus who were lionized by later generations. The volume also presents Greek sculpture made in the colonies of Italy and Sicily from the Archaic period onwards, as well as that made for eastern, non-Greek rulers. A final section considers the role of Greek sculpture in moulding western taste to the present day.

This is a great book with a ton of information. It is a sequel to the other 2 books in the series of Greek Sculpture. It covers many different aspects of style, origin, and techniques, etc. of the sculpture work. It also includes a index of illustrations and index of artists in the back of the book so you can look up specific works. It also has a general index.

Very small format and photos are all black and white

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2015

Expected this book to be in a larger format. This is tiny so makes it difficult to read. Also, all photos are in black and white so again it's an issue of being readable. I am sending this back.

Boardman is an Oxford Univ. professor and expert on Classic Art. He is very clear and detailed in his organization of this period. A classic reference on this period. Also see his earlier volume on the Classical Period from the same series, both long time renowned sources. Many photos and line drawings to illustrate reconstructions and architectural placement etc. . Highly recommended.
