Synopsis

The Manual of Ancient Sculpture is a comprehensive guide to the art of sculpture from ancient times, written by Pierre Paris and originally published in 1890. The book covers the history of sculpture from its earliest beginnings in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, through the classical period in Greece and Rome, and on to the medieval and Renaissance eras in Europe. The author provides detailed descriptions of the techniques and materials used by sculptors in each period, as well as the styles and themes that were popular at the time. The book is illustrated with numerous black and white photographs and drawings that showcase some of the most famous examples of ancient sculpture, including the Parthenon frieze and the Venus de Milo. This is an essential reference for anyone interested in the history of art and sculpture, and a valuable resource for scholars and students of art history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
