C. , when, as in the Centaurs (PI. XIX) of black marble (basalte nero\ which endeavour in stone to imitate as closely as possible a bronze statue, his modelling of the hair and his indication of the sinuous quality of bronze reach their highest point. I may say, by the way, that no people have realised so thoroughly this artistic quality of bronze and all metal work as did the Chinese and Japanese in their masterly casting of the most delicate spirals and curves of their best bronzes. The last ...phase in the development of the bronze technique in Classical Art and the styles to which it led in the later Hellenistic periods in the schools of Asia Minor, had its influence on the marble work of that period. We saw before that, even in the Archaic period, the bronze-worker influenced the treatment of the marble sculptor in dealing with hair. If now we turn to marble sculpture we shall find a similar development, as regards the innovations introduced, as art advances ; and these are directly produced or modified by the material used and its manipulation.
