Includes bibliographical references (pages 139-143).Horses were revered in ancient Greece as symbols of wealth, power, and status. On stunning black- and red-figure vases, in sculpture, and in other media, Greek artists depicted the daily care of horses, chariot and horseback races, scenes of combat, and mythological horse-hybrids such as satyrs and the winged Pegasus. This richly illustrated and handsomely designed volume includes over 80 objects showing scenes of ancient equestrian life. Essays by notable scholars of ancient Greek art and archaeology explore the indelible presence and significance horses occupied in numerous facets of ancient Greek culture, including myth, war, sport, and competition, shedding new light on horsemanship from the 8th through the 4th century BCE.

Central Andes ; Northern Andes and Central America ; Mesoamerica and the American Southwest."Golden Kingdoms provides a sweeping overview of the luxury arts in ancient America from the second millennium BC to the Spanish Conquest in the sixteenth century. Wrought with extraordinary skill from gold, silver, jade, turquoise, shell, textile, and feathers, the spectacular imagery created by court artists played a central role in the royal regalia and sacred rituals that validated imperial power in Pre-Columbian kingdoms from the Andes in the south to Mexico in the north. Reserved for the religious and political elites of the Olmec, Maya, Chimú, Moche, Aztecs, and other peoples, many of these objects were traded over hundreds of miles and cherished for centuries as heirlooms, often ending up as dedications in temples and sacred natural wells (cenotes), or as burial goods for the afterlife. Based on the latest archaeological excavations and scholarship, this study provides a radical reinterpretation of this fascinating material that reflects the value system of the indigenous cultures themselves. Many of the objects have never before left their countries of origin." -From back cover of jacket."This publication is issued on the occasion of the exhibition Golden Kingdoms: Luxury and Legacy in the Ancient Americas, on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center, Los Angeles, from September 16, 2017, through January 28, 2018, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from February 26 to May 28, 2018"--Title page verso.
