Landscape Depictions in Greek Relief Sculpture
This study is a systematic, comprehensive examination of all generic types of stone reliefs with landscape motifs from the 5th to the 1st centuries B.C. The reliefs comprise the largest body of extant Greek art works which depict scenic settings or elements thereof in their compositions. The chronological and geographical development of landscape in relief, its function and role as well as regional differences in these depictions are presented here. The relationship between landscape scenes in relief and in Greek painting is explored and the salient features of both art forms are determined.

Assyrian Reliefs and Ivories in the Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses monumental, majestic, and important works of art from the ancient world.

The Representation of Space in Graeco-Roman Art
