History Of Sculpture, Painting, And Architecture by John Smythe Memes. History Of Sculpture, Painting, And Architecture presents a comprehensive survey of the fine arts, tracing the origins and development of sculpture, painting, and architecture from ancient Egypt and Greece through Greco-Roman influence to Renaissance and modern practice. It examines Egyptian monumental sculpture, Greek sculpture including Phidias, Lysippus, Praxiteles, and the School of the Beautiful; discusses Roman, Gothic, and Italian innovations in architecture; analyzes the correlation between art and political and moral life, and the role of patronage in art. The author argues that taste is cultivated by study and that truth and veracity are the guiding principles of imitative arts. The volume also surveys the rise and decline of English sculpture and painting, and the influence of classical models on modern taste.
