The Language of the Muses: The Dialogue Between Roman and Greek Sculpture Tapa dura - 2008 - 1st Edición

de Miranda Marvin


Información de la editorial

Since the Renaissance, it has been a generally accepted thesis that almost all Roman sculptures depicting ideal figures, such as gods, personifications, and figures from myth, were copies of Greek originals. This book traces the origin of that thesis to the academic belief in the mythical perfection of now-lost Greek art, which contrasted with the reality of the "imperfection" of Roman works.
In a new take on long-held beliefs, Johann Joachim Winckelmann's role is found to be less important than those of Giorgio Vasari and Ennio Quirino Visconti. The author argues that, contrary to the accepted wisdom of the last three hundred years, Roman sculpture had very much its own style and ideals. This synthesis of the history of the study of Roman sculpture does away with the idea that the genre of ideal works consists of mechanical copies and argues that they are, rather, creative adaptations.

Descripción:
Los Angele, CA: J. Paul Getty Museum, 2008. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Hardcover bound in brown cloth lettered in gold, in publisher's pictorial dust-jacket. 304 pages. Notes, Bibliography, Index. Profusely illustrated with 139 color and 127 black and white photographs. First edition. No previous ownership marks. Curiously, roughly two dozen leaves are clipped at bottom fore-edge corner, not affecting text or images. Whether a binders error of an overzealous former owner, all the cuts are at the same angle, though not the same overall area. Else a clean, tight, fresh and unmarked copy. Still very good or better in a very good+ dust-jacket. .
