{"product_id":"9781606069196","title":"Ancient Glass in the J. Paul Getty Museum by Monica Ganio","description":"The J. Paul Getty Museum's collection of ancient glass-astonishingly delicate, richly hued, and fancifully shaped-is among the most celebrated in the United States. With objects ranging from the Bronze Age to the medieval period (1500 BCE-1000 CE), the 584 works included in this publication originated from a wide geographical area, including the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and central Europe.This catalogue, written by acclaimed scholar Anastassios Antonaras, begins with a fascinating essay on the history of glassmaking-a highly technical art form that is still practiced similarly today-and continues with detailed and informative entries on the pieces. Each entry is accompanied by vivid photography. The book also includes a history of the collection, glossary of glassmaking terms, technical study, and full bibliography. The free online edition of this open-access publication is available at getty.edu\/publications\/ancient-glass\/ and includes 360-degree views and zoomable high-resolution photography. Also available are free PDF and EPUB downloads of the book, and JPG downloads of the main catalogue images.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305201676661,"sku":"9781606069196","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781606069196.jpg?v=1762797015","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781606069196","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
