Troy (British Museum) [9780500480557]

Overview

{"p":[{"em":["Iliad","Aeneid","Troilus and Cressida"]},"Using the Classical works of art for which the British Museum is internationally known, this book considers the ancient myth through the eyes of Greek and Roman artists. Drawing on the latest research, it chronicles the search for Troy that convinced the world of the city’s existence, beginning with the nineteenth-century excavations by Heinrich Schliemann. Focusing on the major characters in the story—Helen of Troy, Achilles and Hector, Aeneas and Odysseus—it illustrates how artists from Cranach and Rubens to Romare Bearden and Cy Twombly have been inspired to explore contemporary themes of war and heroism, love and beauty.",{"em":"Troy"}]}
