Açıklama
When at the turn of the 19th century Lord Elgin stripped the Parthenon of its sculptures and carried them to England, he saw himself as both preserving classical art for posterity and claiming classical heritage for the west. When, soon after, the French government purchased an armless statue of Aphrodite on the island of Melos and displayed it triumphantly in the Louvre, it, too, identified France as the natural heir of antiquity. The Austrians and Germans, for their part, unearthed and brought home vast quantities of sculpture and architecture from throughout the Near East.
Beginning in the mid-18th century, European scholars and amateurs poured into Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Mesopotamia to explore, dig, catalogue and cart home material remains of the ancient world. The collections they amassed became celebrated museums; the scholarly techniques they developed formed the foundation of modern scientific archaeology.
