✰✰✰✰✰ / 5
Look, I read this entire textbook cover to cover so I will be counting it towards my Goodreads goal thank you very much.
This was an enlightening read — I really enjoyed Neer’s commentary and learned a ton about Greek art & architecture, through an archaeologist, art historian, and classist’s lens. Neer’s opinions about the pieces definitely shines through (especially in his interpretations of them, which could go a bit far). Overall one of the better textbooks I’ve read.
