这是伦敦大都会艺术博物馆备受赞誉的 “如何阅读” 系列的最新作品，介绍了八个世纪以来的希腊雕塑，追溯了这一艺术传统，从几何时期（约公元前 900-700 年）的早期表现，到古代和古典时期的开创性创造力，再到希腊化时代（公元前 323-31 年）的戏剧性成就。40 件艺术作品代表了广泛的物品和材料，既有神圣的，也有实用的，有金属、大理石、黄金、象牙和陶土。神灵雕塑和建筑元素与运动员、动物和表演者的描绘以及葬礼浮雕、香水花瓶和珠宝相结合。随附的文字既提供了对整个希腊艺术的洞察，也照亮了几个世纪以来的希腊生活。对每件作品的详细评论和希腊艺术主要主题的概述为西方文明中最有影响力的文化之一提供了一个引人入胜的、以对象为中心的介绍。

Featuring decorative, religious, and utilitarian objects from the Geometric period to the Hellenistic Age, this is the ideal introduction to Greek sculpture

Introducing eight centuries of Greek sculpture, this latest addition to The Met’s compelling and widely acclaimed How to Read series traces this artistic tradition from its early manifestations in the Geometric period (ca. 900–700 BCE) through the groundbreaking creativity of the Archaic and Classical periods to the dramatic achievements of the Hellenistic Age (323–31 BCE). The 40 works of art featured represent a broad range of objects and materials, both sacred and utilitarian, in metal, marble, gold, ivory, and terracotta. Sculptures of deities and architectural elements are joined by depictions of athletes, animals, and performers, as well as by funerary reliefs, perfume vases, and jewelry. The accompanying text both provides insight into Greek art as a whole and illuminates centuries of Greek life. Detailed commentaries on each work and an overview of major themes in Greek art offer a fascinating, object-focused introduction to one of the most influential cultures in Western civilization.
