About this book
A History of Sculpture is a book by Ernest Henry Short. The text says the clear-cut brow and the broad mouth tell of the profound judgment and sober will needful to the man who gave Athenian policy its deepest and most imaginative characteristics. The text says that neither the Sophocles nor the Phocion can be termed portraits in the sense that the Roman busts are portraits.
The text says the Greek thinker desired to look at everything from the universal point of view and sought to form general abstract conceptions about humanity and nature, applicable to any and every part of the universe. The text says that if the seventeenth century was the period of the great decorative sculptors, the characteristic of the eighteenth century was its demand for smaller works. The text says that after 400 b.c. the Hellenic sculptor found himself in a new world of thought and emotion.
