Book Synopsis The Art of Roman Britain by : Martin Henig

Download or read book The Art of Roman Britain written by Martin Henig and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the help of over 100 illustrations, many of them little known, Martin Henig shows that the art produced in Britannia--particularly in the golden age of Late Antiquity--rivals that of other provinces and deserves comparison with the art of metropolitan Rome. The originality and breadth of Henig's study is shown by its systematic coverage, embracing both the major arts--stone and bronze statuary, wall-painting and mosaics--and such applied arts as jewelery-making, silversmithing, furniture design, figure pottery, figurines and appliques. The author explains how the various workshops were organized, the part played by patronage and the changes that occurred in the fourth century.
