Seeing the Getty Villa

By Richard Ross

Book Overview

Featuring stunning color photographs throughout, this beautifully illustrated volume takes readers on a visual tour through Los Angeles's iconic Getty Villa.

This beautiful souvenir book captures the visual delights, both man-made and natural, of the recently renovated Getty Villa. With more than seventy color photographs, the book is a tour guide in image and text, taking readers into and through the site, beginning with the cobblestone "Roman road" and the dramatic entranceway, and then into the Museum entry court and sun-filled atrium. The visual narration continues into the Museum building, where readers can admire the galleries of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan works of art before perusing the landscaped gardens, fountains, wall paintings, mosaics, and newly built outdoor amphitheater.

Seeing the Getty Villa artfully captures the stunning architecture and grounds of the Villa.
