Descrizione

Lediglich der Einband ist minimal berieben. Sonst aber ein sehr gutes und sauberes Exemplar/ Only the binding is minimally rubbed. Otherwise, however, a very good and clean copy. - During the three centuries between the reigns of Alexander the Great and Emperor Augustus- known as the Hellenistic period-artist around the Mediterranean created unprecedented realistic images of physical power and emotional intensity. Bronze, with its tensile strength, ability to hold the finest details, and reflective surface, was employed for dynamic compositions, graphic expressions of age and character, and dazzling displays of the nude body. Power and Pathos, the first comprehensive monograph on large-scale Hellenistic bronze sculpture, explores this unique role of bronze as a medium of prestige and artistic innovation.
