Abstract
This three part series provides a detailed guide to the paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and architectural spectacles of Greece's foremost city and its surroundings. Part 1 illustrates the awakening of the classical Greek vision, with detailed visual analysis of the Parthenon, its frieze in the British Museum and other exemplary works. Part 2 explores the development of icon painting, the influence of Greek artists on later European movements and the advent of neoclassical architecture as a manifestation of age-old cultural legacy. Part 3 studies the cultural transformation that began in the 5th century BC as Greek art discarded religious functions and moved toward human-centered concerns.
