The Parthenon Sculptures in the British Museum by Ian Jenkins - 2007

British Museum Press, 2007. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. Clean unmarked pages, firmly bound; unclipped jacket, slight creasing to flap edges. A bright, well-kept copy. The Parthenon sculptures in the British Museum are unrivalled examples of classical Greek art that have inspired sculptors, artists, poets and writers since their creation in the fifth century BC. This book serves as a superb visual introduction to these magnificent sculptures. The book showcases a series of specially taken photographs of the different sculptural elements: the pediments, metopes and Ionic frieze. It captures the vitality of the sculptures in a group, an individual sculpture or an exquisite eye-catching detail, such as the mane of a horse, a human foot, the swish of drapery or a youthful head bowed in thought. 144 pages.
