Greek Art (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Greek Art<br><br>To treat of such a subject as Greek Art within circumscribed limits is no easy task, when anything like a complete historical account of every branch of it is attempted. This is especially the case with the history of Greek sculpture, the material for which is now so enormous, and its importance so great, that it has been found necessary to adopt a method of selection of typical works and artists for each period, sufficient, it is hoped, for an adequate presentment of the achievements of the Greek sculptors. In the other chapters, which deal more with classes of monuments than with individual works, the author's object has been to give a brief outline of the development of each art, which may serve as an introduction to those who desire to know more of the subject. The illustrations have been selected as far as possible to represent the different periods in each case.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
