"Everything you want to know about Roman Art and then some. I actually used an earlier edition for my Ancient art course in college. Very clear and straightforward, which can be a little tedious. Good coverage of the development of Roman Art from its Etruscan forerunners through the reign of Constantine the Great. Would benefit from more color photos. My favorite aspect was the development of portraiture by studying the images of Roman emperors."
I hated this class, but the reading was okay. I felt that Ramage spent too little time on some very important monuments on which entire books an theses have been written but then doddled on some works which I felt were rather insignificant. It had lots of illustrations and schematic plans, however, which are always helpful when discussing Ancient monuments which are frequently in ruin. The most strange thing about this book was the apparent phallic obsession the authors had, as they seemed to always pick out obscure works of art that I had never seen before that had huge, central phallic references. Yeah, let's just not even go there..."
"Ramage and Ramage--as this book was always referred to by my lecturers--was the standard text we used in our art history classes. It works well as both an introduction to the subject for complete beginners, and a reference for those whose studies are a little more advanced. The text is readable, the photos are of high quality, and there are plenty of plans and maps."
