Gutes Exemplar; der illustr. OUmschlag stw. berieben. - Englisch. - Monumental Greek sculpture in stone began on the islands of the Aegean and on Crete in the seventh century B.C. and developed very rapidly. The Classical style, which set the standards for future generations, was created after the Persian Wars of the early fifth century, and was greatly indebted to technological developments in bronze casting and ivory molding. Written by an international team of experts, this book explores the material aspects of Greek sculpture at a pivotal phase of its evolution from the seventh to the fourth centuries B.C. Types of sculptures and choice of marbles are examined according to regions, and there are special chapters devoted to bronze casting, marble carving techniques, and the determination of marble provenance.
