Abstract

Ancient Greek vase-paintings offer broad-ranging and unprecedented early perspectives on the often intricate interplay of images and texts. By bringing together?for the first time in English-language scholarship?an international group of leading scholars in classical art and archaeology who have worked on vase-inscriptions, this book investigates epigraphic technicalities of Attic and non-Attic inscriptions on pottery as well as their broader iconographic and sociocultural significance. The ten chapters in this book propose original and expert methodological approaches to the study of vase-inscriptions and vasepaintings, while also foregrounding the outstanding but not fully examined importance of the area of vase-inscriptions for current research on ancient Greek visual representations. Epigraphy of Art: Ancient Greek Vase-Inscriptions and Vase-Paintings constitutes a major contribution to the fields of Greek epigraphy and classical art and archaeology and will prove significant for epigraphists, archaeologists, and art-historians interested in the complexities of the interaction of art and text.

Abstract

This volume presents the proceedings of the second Athenian Potters and Painters conference, which was held at the American School of Classical Studies, Athens 2007. Together with the 1994 conference (Volume I, Oxbow 1997), these are the first of their kind - focusing purely on Athenian pottery and addressing key aspects of its study. The thirty-two papers contained here are the result not only of a large amount of new material but also the dynamic appearance of a younger generation of scholars dealing with the subject. Subject areas range from the study of the potters and painters themselves,

Abstract

The Codrus Painter was a painter of cups and vases in fifth-century B.C.E. Athens with a distinctive style; he is named after Codrus, a legendary Athenian king depicted on one of his most characteristic vases. He was active as an artist during the rule of Pericles, as the Parthenon was built and then as the troubled times of the Peloponnesian War began. In contrast to the work of fellow artists of his day, the vases of the Codrus Painter appear to have been created almost exclusively for export to markets outside Athens and Greece, especially to the Etruscans in central Italy and to points further west. Amalia Avramidou offers a thoroughly researched, amply illustrated study of the Codrus Painter that also comments on the mythology, religion, arts, athletics, and daily life of Greece depicted on his vases. She evaluates his style and the defining characteristics of his own hand and of the minor painters associated with him. Examining the subject matter, figure types, and motifs on the vases, she compares them with sculptural works produced during the same period. Avramidou's iconographic analysis not only encompasses the cultural milieu of the Athenian metropolis, but also offers an original and intriguing perspective on the adoption, meaning, and use of imported Attic vases among the Etruscans.

Abstract

This volume deals with Greek painted vases, exploring them from various methodological points of view and moving beyond the traditional focus on connoisseurship and style. The volume, which represents the proceedings of an international conference sponsered by the Center for the Ancient Mediterranean at Columbia University, is an effort to exploit the immense richness of these vases by using them to study general cultural history.

Abstract

Gli atti di questo convegno segnano l’avvio della pubblicazione di una serie di ricerche sistematiche sulla ceramica italiota condotte da un gruppo di specialisti da tempo impegnati ad evidenziare le conoscenze disponibili su questa produzione nella fase “post-Trendall”, e accomunati dalla volontà di valorizzare la ceramica figurata come documento capace di contribuire a chiarire aspetti della storia della Magna Grecia di epoca classica ed ellenistica. Partendo dal caso di studio della tomba 100 di Torre di Mare (Metaponto, Matera), i contributi si concentrano sul tema della mobilità dei pittori e del ruolo da essa giocato nella costituzione dell’identità di una produzione. La mobilità degli artigiani, non è, infatti, un tratto esclusivo della ceramica italiota, e l’attenzione riservata dagli studi più recenti alle problematiche legate alla produzione ha permesso di meglio comprendere i fenomeni che presiedono alla diffusione delle tecniche e degli stili e che contribuiscono alla nascita o alla fine delle produzioni nelle differenti regioni del mondo greco, soprattutto in relazione agli spostamenti dei pittori e dei vasai. Resta, tuttavia, da stabilire quali siano gli elementi che consentono di riconoscere questi spostamenti. Nel caso della ceramica della Magna Grecia, la mobilità umana rappresenta una chiave di lettura essenziale a causa dell’unità geografica del territorio, dell’interazione tra le colonie greche che si qualificano come centri di produzione e tra queste e la loro clientela (situata in prossimità o in centri posti a limitata distanza), della molteplicità dei centri di produzione e, infine, del fenomeno dello spostamento delle officine presso nuove committenze. Questo volume è dedicato a Enzo Lippolis che ha accompagnato e ispirato numerosi contributi qui pubblicati. Cette nouvelle série de recherches sur la céramique italiote a pour objectif de mettre à jour les connaissances sur cette production entrée dans l’ère du « post-Trendall », pour en…

Abstract

This book is a comprehensive study of visual humour in ancient Greece, with special emphasis on works created in Athens and Boeotia. Alexandre G. Mitchell brings an interdisciplinary approach to this topic, combining theories and methods of art history, archaeology and classics with the anthropology of humour, and thereby establishing new ways of looking at art and visual humour in particular. Understanding what visual humour was to the ancients and how it functioned as a tool of social cohesion is only one facet of this study. Mitchell also focuses on the social truths that his study of humour unveils: democracy and freedom of expression; politics and religion; Greek vases and trends in fashion; market-driven production; proper and improper behaviour; popular versus elite culture; carnival in situ; and the place of women, foreigners, workers and labourers within the Greek city. Richly illustrated with more than 140 drawings and photographs, this study amply documents the comic representations that formed an important part of ancient Greek visual language from the sixth to the fourth centuries BC.
