(Jahrbuch des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts, 20. Ergänzungsheft).An important and fundamental reference work for the study of Neo-Attic reliefs. Fuchs thoroughly examined the Greek originals (the "Vorbilder" or examples) that served as inspiration for the Neo-Attic reliefs of the Roman period. It offers a detailed analysis of the stylistic characteristics and the complex relationship between the Roman copies and their Greek models. It demonstrates the role of these reliefs as important mediators in the recognition of Greek art as the basis for European art. - Text in German.
