Hellenistic and Roman Ideal Sculpture

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Kousser builds on recent scholarship to offer a unique analysis of Hellenistic and Roman sculptures. Unlike other books, she focuses on the reception rather than the creation of works of art, giving readings of important monuments integrating their analysis with less well-studied ones such as German provincial relics.
