A Too-Brief Guide,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Looking at Greek and Roman Sculpture in Stone: A Guide to Terms, Styles, and Techniques (Paperback)
"Looking At Greek And Roman Sculpture In Stone" is a brief (100pp) guide to some of the terminology of this subject. It is arranged in dictionary format, with paragraph length entries on conservation-related terms from "Abrasion" to "X-Ray Diffraction Spectrometry." Other representative terms include "Anthemion," "Peplos," and "Proconnesian Marble." These are not beginner topics, yet none of them is discussed at adequate length.
The brevity and inconsistent focus of this book would make it an unsatisfactory investment for many readers, even at the current bargain price. It may find a place on your bookshelf if you only want a brief definition of some of these technical terms. |
