Description

An unusual privilege awaits the reader of this volume — an opportunity to view the art of the ancient world through the discerning eyes of two famed scholars. Together they have created a volume of lasting value covering one of the grandest spans of the world’s history. Among its themes are the kingship of the Egyptian Pharaoh, the fierce animal power of Mesopotamian deities, the puzzling vitality of Cretan art, the warmth and humanity seen in Greek vase painting and sculpture, and the stately rigor of Roman portraiture.
