When Politicians Had Balls: Kings and Emperors as Heroic Nudes

4.9/5 (25109 ratings)

Description:There was a time—a long time—when political leaders took pride in every aspect of who they were. We are looking at kings and emperors (plus their teenage sons) who, while living, commissioned nude sculptures of themselves for all to admire. This bold tradition flourished in the Mediterranean world through almost six centuries. Official nude sculptures of rulers and their intended heirs began with Alexander the Great. The finest examples come from the Hellenistic kingdoms. But we have the most complete record from the early Roman empire. After then, the tradition was revived only occasionally. Women rarely ruled in the ancient world, so no parallel tradition of the heroic female nude developed. 190 large color illustrations.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
