review: Editorial Reviews Review “A compelling text.”— Newark Star-Ledger “Mattusch’s translation with notes, introduction, and 147 illustrations is most welcome, since it will make two important but generally lesser known works by Winckelmann accessible to a wider public.”— Bryn Mawr Classical Review About the Author Johann Joachim Winckelmann was a groundbreaking Prussian art historian whose History of Ancient Art (1764) outlined a chronology of all ancient art. Carol C. Mattusch is Mathy Professor of Art History at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, and author of The Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum: Life and Afterlife of a Sculpture Collection (Getty Publications, 2005), which won the prestigious Charles Rufus Morey Book Award.
