Description

That is the first comprehensive introduction to the art and architecture of mainland Greece, Crete, and the Cycladic Islands from 3300 to 1000 BCE. Ancient Aegean culture has a particularly essential place within European history and art history on account of its profound links to the origins of European civilization.

Paintings, pottery, objects created from gold, silver, and ivory, carved reliefs, textiles, and architecture, are all fully illustrated and discussed. The authors reveal the numerous functions that this vast range of arts and artifacts served inside the cultural and social context of the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East.

Combining the contemporary research and essential approaches with an up-to-date historiography this book gives readers a clear working out of Ancient Aegean visual arts and of our changing interpretations of this abnormal era.
