Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'Foundations for a Study of Lysippus' is an essential scholarly examination of one of the most influential figures in ancient Greek art. As the personal sculptor to Alexander the Great, Lysippus transformed the artistic landscape of the fourth century BCE, introducing a new sense of naturalism, slender proportions, and three-dimensional dynamism to the medium of sculpture. In this rigorous study, Franklin P. Johnson provides a comprehensive analysis of the master's style, technique, and the surviving corpus of works attributed to him.The work delves into the complex problem of identifying original Lysippean masterpieces through later Roman copies, such as the famous 'Apoxyomenos' and the 'Farnese Hercules.' By meticulously examining literary evidence from antiquity alongside archaeological findings, the author reconstructs the career of a man who bridged the gap between the Late Classical and Hellenistic periods. Readers will find detailed discussions on the evolution of the male nude, the development of royal portraiture, and the structural innovations that defined Lysippus's legacy.This volume serves as a vital resource for art historians, classicists, and students of ancient archaeology. It remains a foundational text for anyone seeking to understand the aesthetic shifts that redefined Western sculpture and the enduring influence of a Greek master whose work dictated the visual language of the Mediterranean world for centuries.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
