Die römische Plastik. Eine Einführung - Hardcover

This well-presented study aims to provide an overview of Roman sculpture, examining the types of statues created, their function, their locations and their chronology. Supported by numerous black and white photographs, and without notes, Schollmeyer's discussion considers technical aspects of stone and bronze sculptures, their artists, idealised and realistic portraits and stylistic conventions, and the place of statuary in fora, temples, luxury villas and bathhouses. Schollmeyer also examines the influence of foreign art on Roman sculpture and provincial variations across the empire. Includes a glossary. German text.
