Le Roy, The Ruins of the Most Beautiful Monuments of Greece

 
 

Julian-David Le Roy’s The Ruins of the Most Beautiful Monuments of Greece (1758; 2d ed., 1770) forms part of a trilogy of books relating to the eighteenth-century Graeco-Roman debate translated and published in the Getty Research Institute’s Texts & Documents series. It accompanies Johann Joachim Winckelmann’s masterpiece, History of the Art of Antiquity (1764), and Giovanni Battista Piranesi’s three-part polemic, Observations on the Letter of Monsieur Mariette (1765). Together, these works decisively changed the course of Western art and architecture.
