Excerpt from Greek and Gothic, Progress and Decay in the Three Arts of Architecture, Sculpture, and Painting
Original works of art are documents, in short, whatever they look like. They may be rude or shattered, or have been always beautiless, or have lost their beauty; or what is left of it may only irritate minds untaught to feel it; as with so much early Christian work. But there they are, and the student must gain by a certain knowledge, first, of what they are at present, secondly, of what they were in their first glory. He will need all the help he can get in the study of Dark Age History, to support him with sense of truth and reality, through his necessary perusal of painfully written and dubious chronicles.
What an impulse it would give to the history of this period, if an illustrated Ammianus, or a Paul the Deacon, pictured like the Vatican Virgil (of perhaps nearly the same date) could turn up in some Italian library! It will hardly do to dwell on great supposed results in this matter, or some new Simonides will go straightway and discover what we are calling for.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of Greek and Gothic art, architecture, and painting, exploring the essential continuity that runs through ancient monuments and artistic traditions. The author examines ways in which these art forms have been influenced and shaped by their respective historical and social contexts; from the decline of the Athenian Empire to the rise of Christianity in the West and the impact of the Byzantine Renaissance on medieval art. The book also sheds light on the themes of representation and decoration in Greek art, as well as the ways in which Christian symbolism has been depicted in architecture, sculpture, and painting through the ages. Moreover, the author draws parallels between the Greek and Gothic spirit of creative art, discussing the similarities and differences in their approaches to nature and the divine. By examining the ways in which these art forms have evolved over time, the author provides unique insights into the relationship between art, history, and culture.
