درباره این ای-کتاب

From third millennium BC marble
statuettes to gem-encrusted gold jewelry of the fourth and fifth centuries AD,
the collection of antiquities in the J. Paul Getty Museum testifies to the
extraordinary skill and artistic achievements of sculptors, potters, painters,
metal smiths, and other artisans of the ancient Mediterranean world. Indicating
both the quality of the individual pieces and the range of the collection, this
Spanish-language volume illustrates many of the outstanding objects, among them a rare life-size
Greek bronze statue depicting a victorious youth and J. Paul Getty's personal
favorite, the marble statue known as the Lansdowne Herakles. Also included are
a number of Greek and Etruscan terracotta vases, bronze and marble sculpture,
and delicate late Classical and Ptolemaic gold jewelry.
