History of Ancient Art

The book of Johann Joachim Winkelman, which was written (although it is difficult to believe) at the end of the 18th century became one of the first works on the history of art and withstood so many reprints that it was difficult to calculate. Russian gymnasium students used it, but fascinating work still remains relevant. Of course, the theory and history of art has stepped, it would seem far ahead, but the author talks about the eternal and the main one, and this is sometimes more important than the accuracy of determining the artistic manner of masters of the past. Touch you and the story of the highest examples of the creative understanding of the world by man, starting from ancient Egypt and ending with the late Roman Empire
