James 'Athenian' Stuart: The Rediscovery of Antiquity - Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts (YUP)

The creation of the 'Greek style' and its impact in England and on the Continent during the third quarter of the eighteenth century was largely due to James Stuart's landmark multi-volume publication "Antiquities of Athens". This book examines Stuart's multi-dimensional career and the scope of his contributions as designer, artist, and tastemaker.
