Excerpt from Catalogue of the H. W. Sage Collection of Casts From Antique Sculpture The character of earlier Greek sculpture, and the relatively high excellence, coupl'ed with a masculine severity, to which it had attained in some of the Dorian communities of Greece about the time of the Persian Wars, was clearly indicated by the literary testimony of Antiquity. The critical correlation of this testimony with the extant and newly discovered concrete remains of antique art constitutes a large part of the science of classical archaeology. Early Greek art had, however, not been revealed to the eyes of scholars in an original example until the discovery in 1811, by a syndicate of German, English and Danish explorers, Of the since widely known Azigiaelaa marbles. This title designates a series Of fifteen lifesize statues and numerous fragments which once formed the sculptural decoration of a Doric temple of Athena on the prosperous Dorian island of Aigina not far from Athens.
