The Ancient View of Greek Art : Criticism, History, and Terminology
ISBN: 9780300015973 / Angielski / Miękka / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What did the ancient Greeks think about their own art? J.J. Pollitt attempts to answer this question by studying the critical terminology of the ancient Greeks--the terms they used to describe and evaluate sculpture, painting, and architecture. Although Greeks and Romans with a wide variety of backgrounds and interests--including artists, philosophers, rhetoricians, historians, and guidebook writers--wrote about art in antiquity, very few of their works have survived. Mr. Pollitt has therefore had to draw largely on works of authors who, while discussing some other subject, make...

Mysteries Of The Snake Goddess : Art, Desire, And The Forging Of History
ISBN: 9780306813283 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Not only is one of the most famous pieces of ancient Greek art-the celebrated gold and ivory statuette of the Snake Goddess-almost certainly modern, but Minoan civilization as it has been popularly imagined is largely an invention of the early twentieth century. This is Kenneth Lapatin's startling conclusion in Mysteries of the Snake Goddess-a brilliant investigation into the true origins of the celebrated Bronze Age artifact, and into the fascinating world of archaeologists, adventurers, and artisans that converged in Crete at the turn of the twentieth century. Including characters from Sir...

ISBN: 9780500285930 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Here Boardman sketches that history but goes on to explore many other matters that make the study so fruitful. He describes the processes of identifying artists, the methods of making and decorating the vases, the life of the potters' quarter in Greek towns, and the way in which the wares were traded far beyond the borders of the Greek world. Boardman shows how Greek artists exercised a style of narrative in art that was long influential in the West, and how their pictures reflected not simply on storytelling but also on the politics and social order of the day.

ISBN: 9780520229044 / Angielski / Miękka / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. What did sex mean to the ancient Romans? In this lavishly illustrated study, John R. Clarke investigates a rich assortment of Roman erotic art to answer this question--and along the way, he reveals a society quite different from our own.

This splendidly illustrated book brings to life the ancient Romans whom modern scholarship has largely ignored: slaves, ex-slaves, foreigners, and the freeborn working poor.

Discussing a wide range of art in the late republic and early empire--from familiar monuments to the obscure Caupona of Salvius and little-studied tomb reliefs--John R. Clarke provides a tantalizing glimpse into the lives of ordinary Roman people. Writing for a wide audience, he illuminates the...

Athens and Persia in the Fifth Century BC : A Study in Cultural Receptivity
ISBN: 9780521607582 / Angielski / Miękka / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. It is a commonplace of modern scholarship that the Athenians hated and despised the Persians, but the claims of contempt are disproved by the evidence of archaeology, epigraphy, iconography and literature, all of which reveal some facet of Athenian receptivity to Achaemenid Persian culture. The Athenian response was as richly complex as the spheres of interaction: both private and public, elite and sub-elite. It appears in pot shapes, clothing, luxurious display and monumental architecture. This innovative study, the first comprehensive collection of evidence pertaining to the relations...

Images of Myths in Classical Antiquity
ISBN: 9780521788090 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Stories take time to tell; Greek and Roman artists had to convey them in static images. How did they go about it? How could they ensure that their scenes would be recognized? What problems did they have? How did they solve them? This generously illustrated book explores the ways classical artists portrayed a variety of myths. It explains how formulas were devised for certain stories; how these inventions could be adapted, developed and even transferred to other myths; how one myth could be distinguished from another; what links there were with daily life and historical propaganda; the...

Attalos, Athens, and the Akropolis : The Pergamene 'Little Barbarians' and their Roman and Renaissance Legacy
ISBN: 9780521831635 / Angielski / Twarda / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. This volume examines the "little barbarians," ten highly expressive Roman marble figures found in Rome in 1514, now recognized as copies of the Small (or Lesser) Attalid Dedication on the Athenian Akropolis. Manolis Korres' recent discovery of the monument's pedestals led Andrew Stewart to a complete reconsideration of the statues' form, date, and significance. Illustrated with new photographs of all ten barbarians, and 26 new drawings by Manolis Korres, Stewart's book systematically traces the Barbarians' impact upon the intellectual history of art and archaeology.

ISBN: 9780521831659 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Arguing that the scholarship on this topic has not appreciated Roman values in the visual arts, this book examines Roman strategies for the appropriation of the Greek visual culture. A knowledge of Roman values explains the entire range of visual appropriation in Roman art, which includes not only the phenomenon of copying, but also such manifestations as allusion, parody, and, most importantly, aemulatio, successful rivalry with one's models.

Vase Painting, Gender, and Social Identity in Archaic Athens
ISBN: 9780521853187 / Angielski / Twarda / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 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.

The Freedman in Roman Art and Art History
ISBN: 9780521858892 / Angielski / Twarda / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. From monumental tombs and domestic decoration, to acts of benefaction and portraits of ancestors, Roman freed slaves, or freedmen, were prodigious patrons of art and architecture. Traditionally, however, the history of Roman art has been told primarily through the monumental remains of the emperors and ancient writers who worked in their circles. In this study, Lauren Petersen critically investigates the notion of 'freedman art' in scholarship, dependent as it is on elite-authored texts that are filled with hyperbole and stereotype of freedmen, such as the memorable fictional character...

Art and Inscriptions in the Ancient World
ISBN: 9780521868518 / Angielski / Twarda / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. The ancient visual environment was packed with instances where words and images appeared side by side: statues with dedicatory inscriptions, labels on paintings or mosaics, or complex juxtapositions of images and engraved texts on funerary monuments. In the past these elements have often been divorced from one another and studied in isolation. In this volume art historians and epigraphers have come together to look at the complex ways in which images and words interacted with one another, illustrating, explaining or reinterpreting each other or, conversely, making competing demands upon the...
