Description:

The Hellenistic collection of the Walters Art Gallery is one of the very finest such collections in the western hemisphere and is distinguished by both the quality and the breadth of the holdings, which combine marble sculpture with smaller-scale works of bronze, terracotta, faience, ivory, glass, gold, and gems. One hundred fifty objects from this collection are published here in a volume that provides, for each object, full photographic documentation, provenance, description, complete history of exhibition and publication, and an analytical essay followed by notes. Many of the objects presented here have never been published before; others have received only cursory publication.Complementing the catalogue proper are essays by preeminent scholars in the field of Hellenistic art: Brunilde Ridgway, Andrew Stewart, Roger Bagnall, and Beryl Barr-Sharrar. These contributors have offered thoughtful, fresh observations on broad issues fundamental to the discipline: the methodology of Hellenistic art history, the impact of the Romans on Hellenistic art, the social environment of the Hellenistic age, and the specific appearance of the Hellenistic home.
