Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Vase-Painting A history of Greek vase-painting has been for a long time a desideratum of students of Greek art and antiquity. Many years ago I planned such a work, but the difficulty of the necessary illustration caused the plan to break down. In the meantime an extensive literature has grown up on the subject, mainly in German, but with contributions from other countries. In his first chapter Dr. Buschor has shewn how the result of excavation in Greece and Italy has been to throw our starting-point further and further back, until it lies in the Neolithic age. But it is not only in regard to the earlier phases of Greek vase-painting that research has brought light: the red-figured vase-painting which is one of the most perfect fruits of Greek art in the fifth century has been far more minutely and intensively studied. The result has been to fix the outlines, and more than the outlines, of the history of a fourth great branch of Greek artistic activity; the history of architecture, of sculpture and of coinage having been already thoroughly investigated. And this fourth branch is not merely vase-painting; but since the fresco and other paintings of the great age of Greece have almost entirely perished, we may fairly say that it includes almost all that we can ever know of the history of early Greek painting. Vase-paintings can but feebly image the colouring of the great painters of Greece; but they can give us invaluable information as to the principles of grouping and perspective adopted by them; they can reflect the extreme beauty of their figure-drawing; and they can shew us how they treated subjects from the vast repertory of Greek mythology and poetry.

Book Synopsis The Art of Vase-Painting in Classical Athens by : Martin Robertson
Download or read book The Art of Vase-Painting in Classical Athens written by Martin Robertson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his new book, Professor Martin Robertson - author of A History of Greek Art (CUP 1975) and A Shorter History of Greek Art (CUP 1981) - draws together the results of a lifetime's study of Greek vase-painting, tracing the history of figure-drawing on Athenian pottery from the invention of the 'red-figure' technique in the later archaic period to the abandonment of figured vase-decoration two hundred years later. The book covers red-figure and also work produced over the same period in the same workshops in black-figure and other techniques, especially that of drawing in outline on a white ground. The book is intended as a companion volume to Sir John Beazley's The Development of Attic Black-figure (originally published in 1951 by California University Press), and as an examination and defence of Beazley's methods and achievements. This book is a major contribution to the history of Greek vase-painting and anyone seriously interested in the subject - whether scholar, student, curator, collector or amateur - will find it essential reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Greek Painters' Art Every student of art, history, and literature knows something about Greek architecture and Greek sculpture. Such knowledge is as essential to an intelligent understanding of modern art, modern history, and modern literature as are foundation stones to a building. Architecture and sculpture are, however, but two of the three divisions of the visual arts. Without painting the triple unit is not complete. And it is a lamentable fact that of Greek painting so little remains that to the average student there is not and never was in Greece a field of painting comparable to the sister arts. Modern discoveries on Greek soil, however, are continually throwing new light upon the painters art. They reveal glimpses of that world of color to which ancient Greek writers refer in terms of high praise. Traces of color have been found on the inside walls of the palaces at Tiryns, Mykenae, Phylakopi, and Knossos, on metopes, triglyphs, pediments, and other architectural members of various temples. These remains prove that color was called to the aid of architecture from Homeric times down to the perfect period of its development that culminated in the Parthenon.

Book Synopsis Looking at Greek Vases by : Tom Rasmussen
Download or read book Looking at Greek Vases written by Tom Rasmussen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991-07-26 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ancient Greek vase is a difficult object for the non-expert to come to terms with. Faced with rows of apparently undifferentiated black, red and buff pots, he or she is at a loss as to where to begin. Greek vases are treated as objets d'art in the modern world, but how much were they worth in the ancient? They are often used to demonstrate 'the Greek genius' and aspects of ancient Greek society, but why do many of them carry Eastern motifs, and why do so many turn up in Italy? Why were the Greeks not content with simple patterns on their pottery? What did the pictures on the pots mean to them? Why should a vase depict a scene from a play? These are the sorts of questions that this book, first published in 1991, attempts to answer. As the title implies, it is a series of 'looks' at Greek vases, offering suggestions on how to read the often complex images they present.

Book excerpt: Lissargue (author and director of studies, l'Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences socials in Paris) has divided the vases by subject--dining, love, athletes, warriors, heroes, men and gods, Hercules, the Athenians' mythic identity, and Dionysus--and writes at length about each scene chosen. The plates are in color and of high quality, with many details, but the text is substantial as well, providing detailed discussion of what we see in the images and the aspects of Greek life and myth they display. c.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Vases This inventory of the Greek vases was written more than ten years ago when the Museum was still lodged in the old palace of Gizeh. As was almost inevita ble from the plan of the Catalogue ge'ne'ral as followed at that time, the order in which the objects are numbered and described is rather irregular. Several things came to hand too late to be entered in their proper places, and n 2 6336 in particular were overlooked until the work was half finished. In 1 909 1 revised the manuscript, having in the meantime laid it aside in order to pu blish some other volumes of the Catalogue. I also added a description of the new acquisitions, nos 32377-3239l1, while Brugsch Pasha was kind enough to make the photographs from which the plates have been prepared. The illustrations in the text are from tracings and sketches of my own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Greek and Etruscan Vases in the British Museum, Vol. 1: Part II., Cypriote, Italian, and Etruscan Pottery When the present Catalogue of Vases in the British Museum was planned, in 1891, Volume I. Was assigned to the vases then exhibited in the First Vase Room, which are for the most part of an early date, and represent the beginnings of Greek Vase-painting in many places and styles. The subsequent growth of the collection, especially in the sections dealing with Crete and Cyprus, has made it necessary to divide the volume into two parts, the second of which is the first to be ready for issue. Volume I., Part II., deals with the pottery of Cyprus, the early Italian fabrics, and the Etruscan pottery in the strict sense of that term. Some preparations were made by Sir Cecil Harcourt Smith, now Director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, but the second part of Volume I. Is mainly the work of Mr. H. B. Walters, Assistant Keeper of Greek and Roman Antiquities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary study opens up a fascinating interaction between art and theater. It shows how the mythological vase-paintings of fourth-century B.C. Greeks, especially those settled in southern Italy, are more meaningful for those who had seen the myths enacted in the popular new medium of tragedy. Of some 300 relevant vases, 109 are reproduced and accompanied by a picture-by-picture discussion. This book supplies a rich and unprecedented resource from a neglected treasury of painting.
