Discusses Greek bronzes and their multiple role in ancient Greek life, the ancient techniques of bronze working and casting, collectors, etc.
Carol C. Mattusch discusses the dating of bronzes based on criteria of technique and style, and considers technical innovations in the art of portraiture. Most controversially, she offers evidence that Greek artists cast bronzes in series based on a single model.
Freestanding bronze statuary was the primary mode of artistic expression in classical Greece, yet it was not until the nineteenth century that any original large statues of that period were unearthed. Carol C. Mattusch enriches our knowledge of this beloved but elusive art form in a comprehensive study of the style and techniques of bronze statuary during the Archaic (6th century B.C.) and Classical (5th century B.C.) periods.
In this book Greek, Roman, and Byzantine bronzes from Anatolia and neighbouring regions are studied. The research focuses on bronze and other metal finds from several ancient sites of Asia Minor and other regions in the Mediterranean.
