1934, Jocelyn M. C. Toynbee, The Hadrianic School: A Chapter in the History of Greek Art, Cambridge, Cambs.: At the University Press, page xxxi:The reverse-types of the bronze coins issued at Athens under Hadrian, though they are admittedly inferior from the purely aesthetic point of view and receive but scant, if any, attention in books on Imperial art, are monuments of the greatest interest and importance for studying the history of art and for gauging the artistic mentality of the times; they would make an excellent starting-point for the study of art in Hadrianic Greece.
1972, J J Pollitt, Art and Experience in Classical Greece, Cambridge University Press, published 2006, →ISBN, page 61:Archaism in Antiquity was never so varied as it is today, nor was it ever used in quite the same virtuoso-like way, but it does have a long history in Graeco-Roman art. Its principal flowering came in the late Hellenistic period and, especially, in Hadrianic art, but its roots, like so many other innovations in Greek art, are traceable to the period between 480 and 450 b.c., when it is quite apparent in the work of a group of Attic vase painters , of whom the foremost was the Pan Painter.
