HELLENISTIC SCULPTURE [Illustration: 1] [Illustration: 2] HELLENISTIC SCULPTURE BY GUY DICKINS, M.A. SOMETIME FELLOW AND LECTURER OF ST. JOHN’S COLLEGE, OXFORD AND LECTURER IN CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD WITH A PREFACE BY PERCY GARDNER, LITT.D., F.B.A. LINCOLN AND MERTON PROFESSOR OF CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1920 INTRODUCTORY NOTE Guy Dickins wrote these chapters on Hellenistic Sculpture as a brief sketch of the period to which he hoped to devote years of study. They foreshadow some of the theories which he intended to work out, and for that reason we believe that they will be useful to the student. There are obvious omissions, but no attempt has been made to fill up gaps in the manuscript, such as paragraphs on the Barberini Faun or the Attic Gaul, which were left blank in 1914. The illustrations, which naturally must be limited in number, have been selected by me mainly on the principle of reproducing the less accessible pieces of sculpture while giving references to standard works for the others. In preparing my husband’s manuscript for publication I have to acknowledge with gratitude the help of many friends. To Professor Percy Gardner I am particularly indebted for valuable advice and for his kindness in writing a preface to the volume; to Miss C. A. Hutton for her counsel throughout; and to Mr. Alan Wace for sending me photographs from Athens. I have also to thank the Hellenic Society, the Committee of the British School at Athens, and Dr. Caskey of the Boston Museum for permission to reproduce certain photographs. MARY DICKINS. OXFORD, March, 1920. PREFACE Among the losses which Oxford has suffered from the war, none is more to be regretted than that of the author of this volume. As an undergraduate, twenty years ago, Guy Dickins gave up his intention of entering the Indian Civil Service in order to devote himself to the study of Classical Archaeology, an allegiance from which he never swerved. In 1904 he went as Craven Fellow to the British School of Athens, and for five years lived mostly in Greece, studying and exploring. In 1909 he returned to Oxford as a Fellow of St. John’s College, and Lecturer in Ancient History. In 1914 he was appointed University Lecturer in Classical Archaeology; but before he could take up the duties of the post the great call came, and he obeyed it at once. A most efficient and able company commander, he served in the King’s Royal Rifle Corps. In July 1916 he died of wounds received in the battle of the Somme.
