The distinguished professor of archeology, Claude Rolley, offers a book that enables us to reach out to Greek Sculpture, starting with the works and analyzes that have been proposed for them. The work lists all the knowledge we have today and the discussions that have been brought about by recent discoveries. The projects are examined within their historical and social context, which often explains their character and evolution. The entire Greek world is presented from the Nile Delta to the Crimea and from Kyrenia to Marseilles. It also raises the issue of the radiance of Greek sculpture on the outskirts of the Greek world and in the non-Greek before the Romans spread it in their own way.
Through the lines of this book, we distinguish the great importance of this art, which was the source of the art of the Western world.
