| Summary: | "Goddess: The Classical Mode explores the continually evolving influence of ancient Graeco-Roman dress through the ages. Over the past two-and-a-half millennia, the classical mode has unfolded and persisted, finding expression in a variety of artworks and through them, in fashion. Through diverse permutations and transformations, ancient dress has survived and resonated as an ideal. This beautifully illustrated volume presents a survey of this theme, including examples of ancient sculptures and vases, along with works of art and fashions from various historical periods."--BOOK JACKET. |
