Emanuel Loewy

The Rendering of Nature in Early Greek Art Emanuel Loewy

Professor Loewy sD ie Naturwiedergabe in der alteren griechischen Kunst was published at the end of 1900, but appears not to be much known byE nglish students of Greek art. That an essay of great value should have been thus neglected is due probably to two causes :first, the work is a closely reasoned argument, which can neither be condensed nor given in excerpts; second, Professor Loewy smethod is unfortunately strange to us. A strict scientific discussion is a tonic much needed by our archaeology. Many of our histories, hand-books, and lectures substitute for precision of fact and explanation a deal of superfluous moral comment and aesthetic make-believe, so that one whom the beauty of the works attracts to study their history is deterred by the method of study in vogue.
