The art of ancient Greece aspired after pure lines and perfect proportions. Formal beauty was seen as the earthly reflection of divine harmony. Architecture; sculpture, and ceramic painting all embodied a metaphysical ideal. Both compact and comprehensive, this volume gives an account of classical Greek art and of the ideas and inspirations that produced it between the eighth and fourth centuries before Christ.
