Lavishly illustrated and beautifully presented, this book examines the extraordinary wall paintings of Ancient Etruria. In stark contrast to Greece large quantities of Etruscan painted monumental art survive, primarily in tomb complexes which Prof Steingraber describes as "underground museums". The paintings span some 500 years and provide a uniquely pleasureable means of studying Etruscan society and religion and its evolution during the 7th - 2nd centuries BC.
