Nature and Imagination in Ancient and Early Modern Roman Art - Paperback

by Gabriel Pihas (Author)

This volume uses the art of Rome to help us understand the radical historical break between the fundamental ancient pre-supposition that there is a natural world or cosmos situating human life, and the equally fundamental modern emphasis on human imagination and its creative power.
