Explanations and Illustrations are very accurate and complete.
4 Stars
Explanations and Illustrations are very accurate and complete.
The book has an introduction with infirmation on how the greeks applied art to sculpture, vases, architecture, coins, textiles and musical instruments. Then it relates the use of motifs, animals, the greek cosmos and their simbolism. The notes before the 100+ pages of illustrations provide the details of the illustrations and their locations. Illustrations are b&w. I think this book is an important legacy of the author to the world.
