Greek sculpture was among the first forms of art to communicate human emotions, offering a more realistic portrayal of the individual. By working with new materials and posing the body naturally, Greek sculptors laid the groundwork for a whole new art form.
Classic Greek Masterpieces of Sculpture features more than sixty of these magnificent and influential works, spanning various styles, historical periods, and subjects. Organized chronologically, these pieces come from the collections of leading museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum, and the Louvre, among others.
Accompanied by dynamic, detailed photographs of each sculpture is an essay that both describes the work and offers commentary on its significance in Greek art. Thought-provoking, realistic, and influential, these sculptures changed the way we perceive art, both in its purpose and form.
