3.0 out of 5 stars A great resource for scholars, but of limited value to other, April 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Greek Erotica on Attic Red-Figure Vases (Hardcover)

This book compiles both black and white and color photographs of ancient Athinian vase paintings, complete with artistic and cultural analysis. It is very technical, geared towards the scholar of antiquity or art history. Those extrodinarily interested in the subject who are not scholars may get some value out of it, however.
