Hardcover. Condition: New. ARUZ, JOAN - KIM BENZEL - JEAN M. EVANS (Edited by) Beyond Babylon: Art, trade, and diplomacy in the Second Millennium B.C. New York / New Haven / London: Metropolitan Museum of Art / Yale University Press, 2014. 4to., xxiv, 524 p., color ills. Original cloth binding. Dust wrapper. New ISBN: 9780300141436 CATALOG: Archaeology KEYWORDS: Archaeology Iraq Middle East Babylonia History of art Commerce Diplomacy This important volume describes the extraordinary art created in the second millennium B.C. for royal palaces, temples, and tombs from Mesopotamia, Syria, and Anatolia to Cyprus, Egypt, and the Aegean. Objects of the highest artistry reflect the development of a sophisticated trade network throughout the eastern Mediterranean region and the resulting fusion of Near Eastern, Aegean, and Egyptian cultural styles. The impact of these far-flung connections is documented in the precious materials sent to royal and temple treasuries and, most dramatically, in objects discovered on merchant shipwrecks off the shores of southern Anatolia. The history of the period and the artistic creativity fostered by interaction among the powers of the ancient Near East, both great and small, are discussed by an international group of scholars in essays and entries on the more than 350 objects included in the exhibition, continuing the fascinating story begun in the landmark catalogue Art of the First Cities (2003).
