The creation of the "Greek Style" and its pervasive impact on England and Europe during the third quarter of the 18th century were largely due to Stuart's ladmark multivolume work, "The Anitiquities of Athens." He subsequently embarked on a highly influential career spanning architecture, interior design, furnishings, sculpture and metalwork. This lavish study is the first to fully examine Stuart's complete oeuvre.
