2,000多年以來，古希臘與古羅馬藝術一直都是整個西方文明的核心部分。本書重新發掘當初這些藝術家創作時的激動瞬間，他們以大膽前衛的創新來對抗更古老的藝術傳統，展現前所未見的新觀念；許多雕塑家與畫家更首度在作品中展現人體線條的複雜性、以及人類情緒的豐富性。
久經歲月摧殘，如今大量古希臘與古羅馬藝術品雖然僅存殘片，但依然令後世讚嘆不已，而古希臘人、和後續傳承的古羅馬人，他們所創造的人類文化遺產，也將永遠不會喪失其偉大的影響力。
For more than 2,000 years the art of Greece and Rome has lain at the heart of western civilization. This book recaptures the excitement of the artists who first created it. It traces the daring innovations of those who, defying traditional wisdom, explored new ideas; it describes the valiant struggles of sculptors and painters to portray – for the first time – both the complexities of the human form and the richness of human emotions. So much has been destroyed by the ravages of time that Greek and Roman art seems to consist only of impressive ruins and broken fragments. Yet the creative achievements of the Greeks and their legacy, as adapted by the Romans, have never lost their power.
