Publisher's Synopsis
The Philosophy of Art: Art in Greece (1871) is a book written by the French philosopher and critic Hippolyte Taine. In this book, Taine explores the art of ancient Greece and its impact on Western art and culture. He argues that Greek art is characterized by a balance between form and content, and that this balance reflects the Greek worldview and values. Taine also examines the different styles and schools of Greek art, such as the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian orders, and discusses the influence of Greek art on later periods, such as the Renaissance. Overall, The Philosophy of Art: Art in Greece is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of one of the most important and influential periods in the history of art.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
