The amazing discovery of the 'first European civilization' in Crete, Greece and the Aegean islands during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was beyond what anyone had imagined. Beginning with the Neolithic period, before 3000 BCE, and ending at the close of the Bronze Age and the transition to the Iron Age of Hellenic Greece (c.1000 BCE), this is the first comprehensive introduction to the visual arts and architecture of this extraordinary era. This book introduces the reader to the historical and social contexts within which the arts - pottery, gold, silver, and ivory objects, gravestone reliefs, frescoes, and architecture - of the Aegean area developed. It examines the functions they served, and the ways in which they can be read as evidence for the interactions of many different peoples and societies in the eastern Mediterranean. It also provides an up-to-date critical historiography of the field in its relationship to the growth of ancient art history, archaeology, and museology in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, giving a contemporary audience a clear appreciation of what has been at stake in the uncovering and reconstruction of this ancient society.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book!

As some reviewers have noted, the introduction to this book is very theoretical. However, the rest of the book is excellent and the choice/quality of images outstanding. Well worth investing in!

La recensione si riferisce al solo prodotto kindle.
Pessimo ebook. Le immagini vengono visualizzate solo in bianco e nero, mentre nell'estratto (che si può consultare su amazon.com), le foto sono a colori. Questo è un grave difetto che non consente di apprezzare appieno l'opera e denuncia poca chiarezza e una certa scorrettezza da parte di amazon. Le note, oltretutto, non sono interattive e si trovano alla fine del testo: consultarle è a dir poco scomodo. Questi difetti andrebbero segnalati nella descrizione del prodotto, per evitare agli acquirenti un acquisto indesiderato.
Se proprio avete intenzione di acquistare il libro, prendete l'edizione cartacea!

Written by an arheologist and art historian, the book is very informative. The books in the collection seem to be the best avalaible today. The illustrations mostly in color, and the quality is only fair.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource.
Reviewed in the United States on 15 November 2012

I am a mid-thirties MFA student creating a short film based on the life at the palace of Knossos. I own many books on and related to the topic and have been researching for a few years now. This book arrived yesterday and I am already a third of the way through it. Very well written, organized quite well. A nice amount of illustrations showing the design and layout of various ancient sites. This helps a visual person like myself fully understand the descriptions.
If you are interested in ancient life in the Aegean world I would recommend this book.
