More than 200 vases and fragments are described and illustrated in detailed photographs and profile drawings. \n\nThere is abundant illustration of the geometric forms of ornament from which the period takes its name, including fine examples of meticulous brushwork. The figured pieces include many elements of standard Late Geometric repertoire - male and female mourners at a bier; files of warriors with shield, helmet, and spear; processing two-horse chariots with their drivers; horses, deer, hounds, a fox, and birds of different types. \n\nThe introduction gives a history of the collection and discusses the changing attitudes to pottery from the 'Greek Dark Ages'.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Art \u0026amp; design styles: Classicism [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Art \u0026amp; design styles: Classicism\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Art%20\u0026amp;%20design%20styles:%20Classicism%20%5BACQH%5D%22\"\u003eACQH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52253134553368,"sku":"9780197264447","price":68.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780197264447.jpg?v=1781271972","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/corpus-vasorum-antiquorum-great-britain-fascicule-24-oxford-ashmolean-museum-fascicule-4-hardback-9780197264447","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
