Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book describes the history, principles and character of sculpture from its origins in ancient Egypt to the era of Greek and Roman sculpture. It charts the evolution of the art form, from its early imitations of nature to its development into a means of representing abstract beauty. Beginning with an analysis of Egyptian hieroglyphics and bas-reliefs, the book traces the influence of mythology, religion and politics on the development of sculpture in both Egypt and Greece. The author discusses the work of notable sculptors such as Phidias and Myron, and the innovations and improvements they introduced to the art form. The book concludes by establishing the significance of these ancient contributions to the history of sculpture and illustrating the lasting impact they have had on Western artistic traditions.
