Elizabeth Prettejohn is Professor of History of Art at the University of Bristol. A member of Tate Britain Council, she has published many books which include Rossetti and his Circle (1999), Frederick Leighton: Antiquity, Renaissance, Modernity (1999, co-edited with Tim Baringer), Beauty and Art, 1750-2000 (2005) and Art for Art's Sake: Aestheticism in Victorian Painting (2009).
Never less than persuasive, in the subtlety and accessibility of its visual or verbal analyses, the book includes revelatory ideas on almost every page.' - Jason Edwards, Reader in the History of Art, University of York 'This is a wonderful book. It commands, with enviable ease, both ancient and modern data, and moves seamlessly and to excellent effect between evocative description and theoretical criticism. This is a book which any graduate student starting to work on ancient art will in future have to read. It is fundamentally enlightening about the way in which sculpture has been studied - and about what it is to study sculpture. It is certainly a book that the exhibition-going public and the serious visitor to the British Museum (or indeed to English country houses with classical sculpture collections) ought to read as well. It manages to be repeatedly eye-opening.' - Robin Osborne, Professor of Ancient History, University of Cambridge
