A Catalogue of Sculpture, Vol. 2 : In the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities, British Museum (Classic Reprint).cA H Smith
Excerpt from A Catalogue of Sculpture, Vol. 2: In the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities, British Museum
This, the Second volume of the Catalogue of Greek Sculpture, has been prepared, as was the First, by Mr. Arthur H. Smith, Assistant in the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities.
The sculpture and architecture with which it deals are mainly the fruit of four separate expeditions promoted by Her Majesty's Government: (1) that of Sir Charles Fellows in Lycia, 1842; (2) that of Sir Charles Newton at Halicarnassus and Cnidus, 185G; (3) that of Sir R. Murdoch Smith and Commander Porcher to Cyrene, 1861; and (4) that of Mr. J. T. Wood at Ephesus, 1863-1874.
Among the sculptures the most important, from an artistic point of view, are those of the Nereid Monument at Xanthos, in Lycia. Yet these sculptures have not hitherto been described in a comprehensive manner except in a memoir by Professor Michaelis in the Annali and Monumenti of the German Archaeological Institute in Rome, 1874-5. Similarly the architectural and sculptured remains of tho later temple of Artemis at Ephesus, though the subject of not a little dispute among archaeologists, have not previously been described and discussed collectively.
