Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
YA-This companion volume to The Oxford History of the Classical World provides a broad and scholarly overview of Greek and Roman art, ranging from the 8th century B.C.E. to the late Roman Empire. Each chapter includes a historical and social commentary on the changing styles as well as on the artists and their patrons. Hundreds of plates, with well-documented explanations, support the narrative essays and highlight the phenomenal growth and dissemination of classical art worldwide. An excellent reference source.

From Library Journal
Western art is very much the descendant of the 1500-year history of Greco-Roman art; many of the classical motifs and vernacular have become so commonplace they pass unnoticed. The changing forms of classical art, the differing societies and patrons for whom artifacts were produced, the roles and objectives of the artists, and the manner in which classical art was disseminated throughout the ancient world are all well analyzed and well presented in this work. While the text is on the dry side, a broad choice of illustrations--28 very good color plates, 396 well-indexed black-and-white reproductions, and three good maps--provide a focus and foundation for the narrative. This affordable companion to Boardman's The Oxford History of the Classical World ( LJ 1/87) will be a useful addition to collections where general works on classical art are lacking.
