His influence was certainly widespread; and in 1905 he was posthumously honoured by two comprehensive retrospective exhibitions held in Paris and London, while no less a sculpture than Rodin was commissioned to undertake a statue in his honour. Yet within a quarter of a century, his reputation had suffered a severe eclipse. It was his fate to be remembered as a brilliant, if hard hitting, wit, and a characteristic figure of the 1890?s but his art, though his art, though still retaining some staunch admirers, was barely studied. This collected edition of his work celebrates his progress and illustrates the broad spectrum of his interests and skills.* A VG+ copy of the 1st/1st thus with some minor wear and no dust jacket.*, 1963-01-01, 3, London: British Museum Press., 1994. 119pp, index, 60pp bw plates, plus 35 bw & 4 col ills.

[EAN: 9780714122007], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [SC: 4.09], [PU: British Museum Press, United Kingdom, London], IAN JENKINS THE PARTHENON FRIEZE, The artistic genius of Athens in the 5th century BC reached its peak in the sculpted marble reliefs of the Parthenon Frieze. Designed by Phidias and carved by a team of anonymous masons, the frieze adorned the temple of Athena on the Acropolis and represents a festival procession in honour of the Olympian gods. Through photographs and drawings, this book reconstructs the frieze in its entirety according the most up-to date research, with a detailed scene-by-scene commentary. The superb quality of the carving is revealed in a series of close-up photographs. The original composition of the frieze and its precise meaning have long been the subject of lively debate. In his introductory text, Ian Jenkins places the frieze in its architectural, historical and artistic setting. He discusses the various interpretations suggested by previous scholars, and finally puts forward a new view of his own. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged., Books<
