Etruscan Art
ISBN: 9780500203040 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The Etruscans were the most powerful force in central Italy until Roman unification of the peninsula. Vestiges of their art, architecture, and unique language have long intrigued scholars, and the search for this mysterious civilization continues to fire the imagination. Despite a history of pillage, rich archaeological evidence survives: thousands of tombs, many of them frescoed and filled with vases, sculpture, jewelry, and metalwork; and the mysterious Etruscan sites that are places of tourist pilgrimage, such as Cerveteri, Vulci, and Tarquinia. In this new book, the first survey of its...

The Ancient Olympics
ISBN: 9780199602698 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The word 'athletics' is derived from the Greek verb 'to struggle for a prize'. After reading this book, no one will see the Olympics as a graceful display of Greek beauty again, but as war by other means.
Nigel Spivey paints a portrait of the Greek Olympics as they really were - fierce contests between bitter rivals, in which victors won kudos and rewards, and losers faced scorn and even assault. Victory was almost worth dying for, and a number of athletes did just that. Many more resorted to cheating and bribery. Contested always bitterly and often bloodily, the ancient Olympics were not...

Greek Sculpture
ISBN: 9780521756983 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Ancient Greek sculpture seems to have a timeless quality - provoking reactions that may range from awe to alienation. Yet it was a particular product of its age: and to know how and why it was once created is to embark upon an understanding of its 'Classic' status. In this richly-illustrated and carefully-written survey, encompassing works from c. 700 BC to the end of antiquity, Nigel Spivey expounds not only the social function of Greek sculpture but also its aesthetic and technical achievement. Fresh approaches are reconciled with traditional modes of study as the connoisseurship of this...

The Micali Painter and His Followers
ISBN: 9780198132257 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The first full stylistic study of the Micali Painter, an ancient vase-painter, this book provides a catalogue of his surviving work (about 200 pieces) and an account of his development within, and influence on, archaic Etruscan painting. It clarifies the artist's unique contributions to the black-figure style that owed more to native imagination than to Athenian influence, and demonstrates the Micali Painter's vivacity, originality, and range through a wealth of illustrations.

Looking at Greek Vases
ISBN: 9780521376792 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is a collection of essays by distinguished scholars that will introduce the student or museum-goer to the study of Greek vases. Although the book is roughly chronological in arrangement--beginning with the appearance of human figures on Geometric vases, and ending with their virtual disappearance from Hellenistic pottery--it is not a history of Greek vase painting, or a handbook. It offers instead a series of suggestions on how to read the often complex images presented by Greek vases, and also explains how the vases were made and distributed. The volume is fully illustrated throughout.
