内容説明
Facsimile reprint of a classic Phaidon title, written and designed by the co-founder of the company, and containing 120 beautiful full-page plates of the powerfully realistic marble portraits for which the Romans were renowned Among the greatest artistic achievements of the Roman Empire are portrait sculptures. Derived from an ancient tradition of making funerary effigies, these portraits are astonishing in their realism and expressive power, and their stern humanity speaks to us across the millennia with undiminished force and directness. Roman Portraits is a unchanged reprint in slightly reduced format of a classic Phaidon plate book first published in 1940. Its distinguished author, Ludwig Goldscheider, who was one of the founders of Phaidon Press, not only wrote the text, but made the selection of images and designed the book himself. The remarkable photographs were taken by the writer and photographer Ilse Schneider-Lengyel, who was commissioned by Phaidon in the 1930s to photograph antique and Renaissance sculpture in the great museums of Europe. Portraits are always fascinating, and the powerful, brooding faces in this book have a compelling and haunting quality that will ap

The cover, showing a few profiles overlapping one another, really gives this book's idea: you can study human character by comparing one portrait to another.
Granted, human nature is truly revealed in choices and actions, which a bust portrait cannot depict. Yet - there is a lot to be said for the fact that certain life choices and habits carve this person's face... The emotions that are behind their choices make certain facial expressions, which over time create distinctive muscle-tendon-bone structures...
So, the face can be said to show not just certain inborn characteristic, but also the sum of this person's life choices, as traced by the emotional marks on their faces.
This book is truly remarkable not just for artistic study (and as someone else said, the photography is superb!) but also for the study of human character.
So happy to have this - truly valuable!

Photo gallery of ancient Romans

This is a highly browsable, enjoyable collection of photos of faces from Roman sculpture. It is not a museum catalogue and provides little textual description. The 120 plate photos themselves are artistically done (as opposed to being intended simply to document the sculpture). In Roman times, sculptures served a purpose similar to photographs today. Relatively few of the portraits are of identifiable people, but Cicero and Augustus, among others, are included.
