About this book
Kleiner (art history, archaeology, Boston U.) has written a history of Roman art and architecture which provides a thorough introduction to a lengthy and complex historic period. The volume is very heavily illustrated with color images, with separate sections for each work discussed, making the text easy to navigate for the student and instructor. The material is organized chronologically and Kleiner, who draws on a long career in the field, easily fits the complex political context into his pithy text about the work of art or architecture, its creation, significance, stylistic attributes, ownership, and use.
