Description & Specifications

The wonderfully preserved Greek vases are a unique source of information about the mythology, religion, drama, and daily life of the ancient Greek world. This impressive photographic book offers an excellent visual introduction to the art of ancient Greek vases, exploring them not only as beautiful vessels for carrying water and wine but also as mediums of storytelling and carriers of meaning. Presenting the vases and their imagery in their full narrative glory, Greek Vase interprets their forms and stories around various themes, from the adventures of gods and mythological heroes to expressive scenes of sexual intimacy and depictions of social, family, and domestic life. This beautifully illustrated book highlights the significance these images held for the people who lived with and used them, how they have been embraced by later generations, and the profound influence they have exerted on the form, decoration, and narrative of subsequent art, architecture, and literature.
