Relief Sculpture of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was one of the Seven Wonders of the World. This is the first complete catalogue of its friezes and other decorative reliefs. Detailed descriptions are illustrated by hundreds of previously unpublished photographs. Also discussed are the discovery of the Mausoleum and the controversy about who carved its friezes.

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.
The Artists of the Ara Pacis
Conlin questions the long-held assumption that the friezes' sculptors were anonymous Greek masters, directly influenced by the reliefs carved on the Parthenon. Through close analysis of the sculptures, Conlin demonstrates that the carvers of the large processional friezes were actually Italian-trained sculptors influenced by both native and Hellenic stonecarving practices. Her conclusions rest on a systematic examination of the evidence left on the marble by the sculptors themselves - the traces of tool marks, the carving of specific details, and the compositional formulas of the friezes.

Sculptural Seeing
Demonstrating the influence of optical science on medieval relief sculpture, this groundbreaking book reveals that the concepts that informed the codification of perspective by Renaissance painters were already being employed by sculptors centuries earlier.
The Representation of Space in Graeco-Roman Art
This book assesses the role of relief in the representation of space in Graeco-Roman artistic practice and its study – from Winckelmann to the mid-twentieth century – when Classical art developed as a theoretical discipline. The role of relief in the history of ancient sculpture has long been acknowledged, yet the problems posed by an engagement with the representation of space have not been a subject of specific and sustained inquiry. Neither a conventional history nor a comprehensive historiography, this book traces the study of relief – of its formal character, its artistic purpose, its aesthetic significance, and its historical treatment. The contribution to scholarship is three-fo...

Perspectives on American Sculpture Before 1925
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has long been renowned for its collection of American sculpture, in particular its world-famous American Neoclassical marbles. This volume contains eight papers presented at a symposium held at the Museum on October 26, 2001, upon the publication of American Sculpture in The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The contributors, who include art historians, museum professionals, and independent scholars, offer a fascinating cross section of current thematic interests and scholarly approaches to American sculpture. Each contributor takes as their starting point a sculpture or group of sculptures in the Metropolitan's collection, presenting a wide variety of approaches to the study and understanding of these works.
