[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"Renaissance Artists & Antique Sculpture. A Handbook of Sources”

By Phyllis Pray Bober & Ruth Rubinstein.
Published by Harvey Miller Publishers in 1987. 2nd printing, corrected.

An extremely important study of the antique works of art used as 
inspiration by Renaissance artists. "Over 500 illustrations show Greek 
and Roman statues, mythological and historical reliefs as well as 
triumphal arches together with Renaissance drawings, engravings, bronzes 
and paintings to demonstrate how and where these classical monuments 
were discovered and recorded, and how they were copied, adapted, 
combined and transformed into the style and iconography we now recognize 
as Renaissance art".

Hardcover. 7.5"x11", 522 pages, 526 black & white illustrations, dust 
jacket. In fine, clean condition. $65
