About this copy
A compact and richly informative guide to the art of the ancient world, written by experts from the Louvre in Paris. Covering the Near and Middle East, Egypt, Greece, and Rome with the Etruscans, this handbook helps readers recognise the styles, forms and artistic media of civilisations from Sumer to Hellenistic Greece. Its clear sub-sections on architecture, sculpture, ceramics and metalwork make it an ideal companion for museum visits and travel, and a rewarding read for anyone curious about the ancient world.
A handsome hardback, complete with its original dust jacket, printed spring 1981 and featuring striking line illustrations of ancient artefacts on its cover.
