John Boardman has updated his classic account of one of the most popular historic artistic traditions among Western audiences. In the twenty years since the last edition was released, valuable evidence has come to light which has dramatically enhanced our understanding of the art of this ancient civilization. We now know conclusively that Greeks in fact lavished their sculptures with realistic colour paint, & also worked with a wealth of other materials on a major scale, including wood & precious metals, proving that our view of `classic` pure white marble of the age is a Renaissance construction. We can identify the work of individual artists, & schools of artists, & have a clearer picture than ever of how art & artistic ideas travelled throughout the Greek world.

Illustrated in full colour throughout for the first time, this fifth edition showcases more vividly than ever the artistic endeavours of the ancient Greeks. ...
