From the Publisher:
Esteemed author John Pedley presents the major categories of Greek art and architecture in chronological order from the beginning of the Bronze Age through the Hellenistic period. The text explores architecture, sculpture, vasepainting, wallpainting, and metalwork, blending factual information with scholarly interpretation and the latest archaeological discoveries. It begins with an Introduction that describes the scope of the book and the history of the retrieval of the monuments and materials of antiquity. Three following chapters cover the Greek Bronze Age, and then seven chapters address the historical periods from 1100 BC to 31 BC.
From Library Journal:
This useful, scholarly, and well-organized text examines Greek art in an archaeological context, organizing artifacts from c.3000 to 30 B.C. both chronologically and by medium. While the writing is occasionally a bit dry, a common problem for texts attempting to cover such a vast subject, it is fairly accessible. Pedley (classical archaeology and Greek, Univ. of Michigan) does not simply rehash material covered in other texts; he includes information gathered from recent archaeological findings. Most of the numerous illustrations are standard black-and-white archival photographs, but the sketches, maps, and plans are particularly well done and very useful for a clear understanding of the objects and areas depicted. The glossary, chronology, index, and bibliography are excellent. For the undergraduate student or independent learner. --Mary Morgan Smith, Northland P. L. , Pittsburgh
