Overview

Excerpt from History of Art in Phoenicia and Its Dependencies, Vol. 2 of 2 Astarte it is a pasticcio upon an Egyptian type, but its execution is extremely skilful; we should be willing to ascribe this last named work to the time of the latter Achaemenids or the Ptolemies. Our museums are full of Phoenician bronzes of the Seleucid period; M. Louis de Clercq possesses the richest series yet formed but their study belongs rather to the history of Greek sculpture. As for the minute figures of men and animals carved in the precious metals by the artisans of Tyre and Sidon, it will be time to talk of them when we come to treat Phoenician jewelry and goldsmiths' work.
