The impressive works of art, considered the jewels of the ancient world, are undoubtedly the building blocks of human development. Sculptures, temples, museums, monumental paintings, tragedies, mythology... In this small but impressive study, the authors, who attempt to analyze a universal human heritage, do not shy away from the cult products of popular culture while discussing the limitless, unbridled, and dazzling legacies of human creativity. This general framework, extending from the splendor of the ancient Roman and Greek worlds to Ben-Hur and Asterix, offers a comprehensive art history examination, from the aesthetic skeleton of classics to the defining criteria that make a work a classic cult.
