Wrapper now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. How far back can we trace the origins of Greek Art Is it confined to the fortunes of great City States such as Athens and Corinth or are flickerings of its glory to be seen in earlier cultures And if so who were these precursors and what do we know of them This brilliant and scholarly book demonstrates how the roots of Greek Art reach back long before its generally accepted beginnings in 1000 BC when as scholars have previously held it was the product of a gradual renaissance following the destruction of the Bronze Age civilizations. The authors argue on the basis of works of art richly illustrated and fully analysed here that the origins of Greek Art do not lie in the so-called Dark Ages but that they should be sought in the Golden Age of Mycenae 600 years earlier. This fascinating society was once believed to have totally succumbed to waves of destruction before the Dark Ages in about 1000 BC but it can now be seen to have survived in Greek myths and artistic conventions right through to the high period of Classical Art. This confirms the discovery made through the decipherment of Linear B that the Mycenaeans spoke an early form of Greek and were thus the direct cultural precursors of Classical Greek civilization. The novel approach taken by the authors concentrates on this astonishing continuity of Greek Art. By examining the objects class by class - architecture metalwork pottery engraved gems jewellery sculpture ivory stone vessels weapons - they are able to show how certain techniques and materials have survived throughout the centuries and how some were lost for ever. Their superb blend of scholarship and of rich and wide-ranging illustration offers the reader a unique opportunity to understand the complex and potent strands of tradition that culminate in the splendours of Ancient Greece.
