Abstract

Mycenaean Art

The article focuses on two volumes of the book "History of Art in Primitive Greece," translated from the French version of authors Georges Perrot and Charles Chipiez. The book presents history of Greek art. The volume on primitive Greece begins with a long essay upon the country and the people, with their history down to the Doric invasion, after which follows what little there is to tell about the Stone Age in Greece. Then comes a detailed account of the remains of each of the entrees of prehistoric civilization and the less important sites where tombs of that epoch have been found, and these in turn are followed by chapters on the architecture, sculpture, painting, and industrial arts of primitive Greece, with a summary of conclusions at the end.
