Античное искусство

For more than two thousand years, ancient culture determined the development of Western civilization. This book tells about the creative achievements of the Greek and Roman artists who created it: about bold innovations that went against tradition, about the daring of thought, about the unstoppable desire to capture in stone or paint - for the first time in history - the harmonious forms of the human body and all the richness of his emotions. Time did not spare ancient art, turning its large monuments into ruins that amaze the imagination, and the rest into a chaos of scattered fragments. However, the surviving works and eyewitness accounts that described the disappeared treasures allow us to judge the greatness of what was created by the ancient Greeks and Romans.
