It gives an excellent overview of Greek material culture from the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic Age.Īs one might expect because of the volume of finds, a lot of attention is given to Classical pieces as opposed to those periods before and after. The sometimes very technical discussions are relieved by the glossary (if I chose to consult it, which I usually didn't bother- laziness, not erudition, being the reason). It provides an excellent introduction to the topic of Greek material culture which is, of course, its job. It is complete with a glossary, a lot of high quality photos (many of them colour) and special issues insets on some pages. This is the fourth edition of the popular textbook by John Pedley. The major categories of Greek Art and architecture- including sculpture, vase painting, wall painting, and metal work in a historical, social, and archaeological context, are explored. This extensively illustrated and clearly written text is accessible to introductory-level students.
