'There has been a need for a reliable, up-to-date general book on ancient mosaics … The lack of proper synthesis has prevented mosaics from receiving the attention they deserve and it is to be hoped that this excellent book will succeed in making a neglected art form more accessible to a wider audience, whether of academics, students, or general readers.'Journal of Roman Studies, ' … prints no less than 318 pictures of mosaics that make fascinating viewing and are worth the cost of the book.'

Synopsis
This book provides a comprehensive account of mosaics in the ancient world from the early pebble mosaics of Greece to the pavements of Christian churches in the East. Separate chapters in Part I cover the principal regions of the Roman Empire in turn, in order to bring out the distinctive characteristics of their mosaic workshops. Questions of technique and production, of the role of mosaics in architecture, and of their social functions and implications are treated in Part II. The book discusses both well-known works and recent finds, and balances consideration of exceptional masterpieces against standard workshop production. Two main lines of approach are followed throughout: first, the role of mosaics as a significant art form, which over an unbroken span illuminates the evolution of pictorial style better than any comparable surviving medium; and secondly, their character as works of artisan production closely linked to their architectural context., Mosaics reached their fullest development under the Romans who used them to decorate the floors of their houses and public buildings. This book gives a comprehensive and fully illustrated history of mosaics in the Greek and Roman world, and studies their development over a thousand years throughout the Roman Empire. Chapters are devoted to technique, to the role of mosaics in architecture, and to their social implications and the role of patrons. This book is the only complete study in depth of this rich material., This is the first major study of the art of mosaic in antiquity. Covering over a thousand years through an area from Britain to Syria and beautifully illustrated with over 350 photographs, it studies the technical aspects and social implications of mosaics as domestic and public decoration.

- -***f (441)- Évaluations laissées par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéI BELIEVE it is a 1/0, not a 0/1. Could be wrong, been wrong before, but the 1891 appears to be atop the 1890. Decent coin anyway. Bold overdate. Came well packed, tho I never saw a golden foil bubble wrap envelope before. Kinda glows in the dark! Coin got here on the 9th of July, decent time. Is a pretty good value, I think. Would buy it again.
