The Negro in Greek and Roman civilization
ISBN: 9781614279624 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 2016 Reprint of 1929 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The Ethiopian image was always rendered with great realism in Greek art. It was barred from sculpture and the finer arts, but it was a great favorite the potter, gen-cutter, and bronze-worker.

The author describes, in a very systematic way, the development of the type and gives an exhaustive of works of art in the...

Images for Classicists
ISBN: 9780674428362 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How did the Greeks translate tales into images? Why do artistic depictions of ancient myths sometimes "contradict" the textual versions that we think of as canonical? What caused the Romans to be anxious about decorated ceilings? Can numismatic images solve problems in Augustan politics or explain the provenance of the Warren Cup? How are the curators of ancient artifacts to supply the high-quality digital images that scholars need in order to answer these questions? And how are text-based scholars to make productive use of them? Images have their own semantic language, and their survival,...

Enduring Bronze - Ancient Art, Modern Views

Paul Getty Museum and other important collections, provides an engaging overview of classical bronzes....

Vase Painting, Gender, and Social Identity in Archaic Athens
ISBN: 9781107662803 / Angielski / Miękka / 327 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study explores the phenomenon of spectators in the Classical world through a database built from a census of the Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum, which reveals that spectator figures flourished in Athenian vase painting during the last two-thirds of the sixth century BCE. Using models developed from psychoanalysis and the theory of the gaze, ritual studies, and gender studies, Mark Stansbury-O'Donnell demonstrates how these "spectators" emerge as models for social and gender identification in the archaic city, encoding in their gestures and behavior archaic attitudes about gender and status.
