""The Esthetic Basis of Greek Art: Of the Fifth and Fourth Centuries B.C."" is a book written by Rhys Carpenter and published in 1921. The book explores the principles and aesthetic values that underlie the art of ancient Greece during the fifth and fourth centuries BCE. Carpenter examines the various elements of Greek art, including sculpture, painting, and architecture, and discusses how they were influenced by the cultural and historical context of the time. He explores the concepts of balance, proportion, harmony, and symmetry that were central to Greek art, and shows how they were used to create works of great beauty and power. The book is an important contribution to the study of art history and provides a detailed analysis of the esthetic principles that have made Greek art so enduring and influential.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
