Geschichte der griechischen Plastik: fur Kunstler und Kunstfreunde
Johannes Adolf Overbeck's Geschichte der griechischen Plastik, published in Leipzig in 1869, is a scholarly survey of Greek sculpture written for artists and art lovers. Its plates reproduce ancient sculptures and reliefs as line engravings, including a centaur struggling with a figure and a seated male nude, with the pictures showing musculature, drapery folds and the poses of figures in stone for designers studying classical form.
