In this highly original inquiry, John Onians argues that the study of classical art opens a unique window into the intellectual and imaginative lives of the Greeks and Romans for whom it was produced. Onians`s sweeping account, ranging from the Greek Dark Ages to the Christianization of Rome, focuses on the impact upon ancient peoples of a constantly changing physical environment.
