Seymour Howard, Antiquity Restored, Essays on the Afterlife of the Antique, Irsa, Vienna 1990
These essays trace the perception of classical art from antiquity to the present day. The articles focus on the role of restorations and patronage in the development of modern taste, and deal also with the social, psychological, and formal, or iconological, aspects of the response to classical imagery.
