Les Portraits Romains. Volume I. République et Dynastie Julienne. - POULSEN, V.,

De Vespasien à la basse-Antiquité

KORTE INHOUD

'This is the first instalment of the definitive catalogue of one of the greatest collections of Roman portraits in the world by one of the leading modern experts on Roman iconography. It may be said at once to be a work that does full justice to both its subject and its author; and it and (we may be sure) its successors will rank among the most important literature on Roman art. The catalogue is prefaces by an introductory essay on the history of Roman portraiture during the period that this volume covers. (...) The essay then provides a survey of all the most important extant portraits of famous republican persoanges and emperors down to Nero. Valuable is P.'s analysis of Augustus' portrait types.' (J.M.C. TOYNBEE in The Journal of Roman Studies, 1963, p.220). From the library of the late Professor Doktor Nikolaus Himmelmann.
