Book Overview
Nigel Spivey sets the formation of the classical style in its proper historical context. He explores the question of how Greek art was inextricably bound up with the social, religious, philosophical and political factors of the period and explains the art not only in terms of those who commissioned and created it, but also with reference to the archaeology of the places which hosted it.

a classical Greek art fan

Includes the favorites and a new turn to the subject by adding lesser known artwork. For the person who has read everything on Greek art/history - this is the fresh-angle book for you. Highly recommend it.

This well-laid out book is profusely illustrated with color photographs that are well integrated into the easy to read text. The text focuses on the cultural and mythological context of the artworks discussed. Small, but packed with information and illustrations, it is a great book for travelling.
