This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

anthropologist archaeologist art historian university professor
In 1866, he became a research assistant in the antiquities collection at the Hermitage Museum and received his Doctor of Philosophy in 1874 from the University of Göttingen.
He began as a theology student at the University of Dorpat, then took up archaeology at the Humboldt University of Berlin. He returned to Berlin, where he became a lecturer at the University and Assistant Director for the Berlin State Museums. During the excavations in Olympia from 1875 to 1881, he was appointed temporary manager.
In 1882, he was appointed to replace Hermann Theodor Hettner as curator of the sculpture collection at the Albertinum and served in this position until 1915.
He worked to expand the collection, acquiring vases and works in terracotta as well as sculptures. When the Cabinet of Curiosities belonging to the former Electorate of Saxony was broken up, he took the opportunity to integrate Renaissance and Baroque sculptures into the collection.
Several works were acquired through his contacts with contemporary artists such as Auguste Rodin, Constantin Meunier and Max Klinger, adding a modern perspective. In 1891, he opened a collection of casts, which served as a model when Ivan Vladimirovich Tsvetayev established the Pushkin Museum.
Finally, in 1900, he opened the Sammlung Treus (Treu"s Collection) to document the history of sculpture.
In addition to his duties at the Albertinum, he taught at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts and the Royal Saxon Polytechnic, where he also managed the art collection. He received an honorary doctorate from the University of Aberdeen in 1906 and one from the Polytechnic in 1913. His grave in the Johannisfriedhof is decorated with a relief by the sculptor Robert Diez.
The area between the Albertinum and the Art Academy was named the Georg-Treu-Platz in his honor.
