This book completes John Boardman's study of Greek vase painting in the World of Art. The author demonstrates that all the components of Greek art that were to culminate in the Classical styles of the fifth century can be traced in the development of vase painting in early Greece, from the eleventh to the sixth centuries B.C. The vases are the most prolific source for this study, as well as being invaluable documents of society, religion, trade, and colonization. The works discussed here display the Greek painter's craft at its most mathematical, its most colorful, and in its most directly narrative mode. The later achievements of Greek art can only be fully understood in light of this formative period of variety, competition, and experiment. About the Author Sir John Boardman is Lincoln Professor Emeritus of Classical Archaeology at Oxford. His books include the companion volumes Athenian Black Figure Vases, Athenian Red Figure Vases: The Archaic Period, and Athenian Red Figure Vases: The Classical Period.

Ян ван Эйк не был обделен славой –причем славой всеевропейской. Около 1455 года, то есть вскоре после смерти художника, в Италии вышла "Книга о знаменитых людях", в которой ее автор, Бартоломео Фачио, назвал ван Эйка "величайшим художником нашего времени". Столетием позже другой итальянец, Джорджо Вазари, в своих "Жизнеописаниях наиболее знаменитых живописцев" зачислил ван Эйка в изобретатели масляной живописи. Вазари подробно описал эксперименты художника с различными видами масляных красок и подытожил: "По прошествии недолгого времени это великое изобретение распространилось не только во Фландрии, но и достигло Италии, а также многих других частей света, показав художникам все достоинства масляной живописи и вдохновив их на создание новых прекрасных картин"

At times controversial and uncompromising, always intellectually honest, Alessandro Conti's book is - astonishingly - the only attempt to comprehensively chart in time, the changing impact of man's desire to preserve for future generations the materials, meaning and appearances of works of art. Remarkable in its meticulous research of source material and breadth of scope, History of the Restoration and Conservation of Works of Arts, translated by Helen Glanville, charts the practices and underlying philosophies of conservation and 'restored' works of art from the Middle Ages to the end of the nineteenth century. In English-speaking countries, a lack of foreign language skills leaves many unable to consult a wealth of both published and unpublished historical documentation. Developments in conservation have therefore tended toward the scientific and analytical. Access to such documentation leads to better understanding of the present appearance of works of art and of their changing aspect and perception over time. Recent publications indicate that there is a great need for people writing on the subject to be aware of material which is not in their mother tongue: approaches presented as 'new' are in fact merely 'contemporary', and have been discussed or practiced in other centuries and countries.
