In Late Antiquity the otherwise unknown rhetor Callistratus wrote a series - unique in its kind - of fourteen descriptions of works of art (mostly statues), thus enabling us to gain remarkable insights into late antique views on Classical Greek Art. The volume presented here contains a revised Greek text of the collection, its first German translation since 1833 and the first complete archaeological commentary ever on Callistratus' work. In der Spätantike verfasste der sonst unbekannte Rhetor Kallistratos eine in ihrer Art einzigartige Sammlung von 14 Beschreibungen von Kunstwerken (meist Statuen) und gewährt uns damit bemerkenswerte Einblicke in die damaligen Haltungen zur klassischen griechischen Kunst. Der hier vorgelegte Band enthält einen revidierten Text der Sammlung, die erste deutsche Übersetzung seit 1833 und den ersten vollständigen archäologischen Kommmentar zu Kallistratos' Beschreibungen überhaupt.

"Der Band handelt von den griechischen Statuen und Bildern, die ab republikanischer Zeit von ihren originalen Standorten nach Rom entführt wurden, und von denen, die im 4. Jh. nach Konstantinopel versetzt wurden. Es wird untersucht, mit welchen semantischen Veränderungen der Wechsel ihrer lokalen Kontexte einherging. Dazu werden die schriftlichen und archäologischen Zeugnisse zu allen öffentlichen Aufstellungen."

What is the social role of images and architecture in a pre-modern society? How were they used to create adequate environments for specific profane and ritual activities? In which ways did they interact with each other? These and other crucial issues on the social significance of imagery and built structures in Neopalatial Crete were the subject of a workshop which took place on November 16th, 2009 at the University of Heidelberg. The papers presented in the workshop are collected in the present volume. They provide different approaches to this complex topic and are aimed at a better understanding of the formation, role, and perception of images and architecture in a very dynamic social landscape. The Cretan Neopalatial period saw a rapid increase in the number of palaces and ‘villas', characterized by elaborate designs and idiosyncratic architectural patterns which were themselves in turn generated by a pressing desire for a distinctive social and performative environment. At the same time, a new form of imagery made its appearance in a broad spectrum of objects and spaces which were ‘decorated' with meaningful motifs chosen from a restricted and repetitive pictorial repertoire. This standardized repertoire indicates the configuration of a coherent pictorial program which was implemented in several social situations. The present volume is intended not only for specialists in Minoan culture but also for readers who are interested in the social dimension of images and architectural remains and especially in issues relating to their materiality, use and perception.

In this wide-ranging study, Richard Neer offers a new way to understand the epoch-making sculpture of classical Greece. Working at the intersection of art history, archaeology, literature, and aesthetics, he reveals a people fascinated with the power of sculpture to provoke wonder in beholders. Wonder, not accuracy, realism, naturalism or truth, was the supreme objective of Greek sculptors. Neer traces this way of thinking about art from the poems of Homer to the philosophy of Plato. Then, through meticulous accounts of major sculpture from around the Greek world, he shows how the demand for wonder-inducing statues gave rise to some of the greatest masterpieces of Greek art. Rewriting the history of Greek sculpture in Greek terms and restoring wonder to a sometimes dusty subject, The Emergence of the Classical Style in Greek Sculpture is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in the art of sculpture or the history of the ancient world.

The first book-length treatment of artistic ecphrasis at Rome, 'The Captor's Image' resituates a major literary trope deep within its hybrid cultural context, and argues for ecphrasis as a cultural practice through which the Romans sought, over some four hundred years of their history, to redefine Romanness both with and against Greekness.

Die Kenntnis der griechischen und römischen Antike, wie aller vergangenen Gesellschaften, ist in entscheidendem Maß von den Medien geprägt, in denen sich die jeweiligen Gesellschaften artikulieren. Die Gesetze, Konventionen und Konzepte der verschiedenen schriftlichen, bildlichen und materiellen Medien führen zu unterschiedlichen Konstruktionen geschichtlicher Wirklichkeiten. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes gehen den spezifischen Formen nach, in denen die griechische und römische Antike sich in Literatur und Inschriften, Bildwerken, Monumenten und Artefakten, Lebensräumen und Ritualen präsentiert. Für den Historiker stellt sich damit die Frage, wie die verschiedenen Konzepte der medialen Konstruktion von Wirklichkeiten zu einem Konzept von ,Geschichte' zusammengeführt werden können. Darüber hinaus ergeben sich Reflexionen über die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Medien und Formen, in denen historische Forschung ihre Dokumentationen und Untersuchungen betreibt und vorlegt.

Bilder des Krieges sind ein dominantes Thema in der griechischen und römischen Kunst. Darstellungen von Kriegertum und Kampf sind visuelle Zeugnisse sozialer Ideale, öffentliche Siegesdenkmäler sind Faktoren der politischen Herrschaft. Nachdem die Forschung eine große Zahl einzelner Denkmäler und Gattungen von Bildwerken untersucht hat, wird in diesem Buch eine Synthese vorgelegt, in der die unterschiedlichen Konzepte und Wahrnehmungen des Krieges von der griechischen Frühzeit bis zur späten römischen Kaiserzeit kontrastiv gegeneinander gestellt werden. Dabei werden nicht nur die Funktionen der Bildwerke für die explizite Verherrlichung von Sieg und Ruhm dargestellt, sondern vor allem auch die ambivalenten impliziten Triebkräfte untersucht, die der kriegerischen Gewalt als Motivationen zugrunde liegen. In vier Kapiteln wird jeweils eine dieser Motivationen als prägende Kraft in einer Epoche des antiken Kriegswesens vor Augen geführt: Archaisches Griechenland: Glanz und Exzess des kriegerischen Heldentums; Klassisches Griechenland: Impulse und Risiken der politischen Identität; Alexander der Große bis Augustus: Ambition und Manifestation universaler Herrschaft; Römische Kaiserzeit: Imperiale Ideologie und militärische Realität. Images of war in Greek and Roman art reveal much more than the mere veneration of victory and glory. This book examines ancient Greek and Roman sculpture and memorials to reveal the ambivalent motivating forces that underlie the violence of war to this day: individual heroism, political identity, universal rule, and imperial ideology.

On museum visits, we pass by beautiful, well-preserved vases from ancient Greece-but how often do we understand what the images on them depict? In Image and Myth, Luca Giuliani tells the stories behind the pictures, exploring how artists of antiquity had to determine which motifs or historical and mythic events to use to tell an underlying story while also keeping in mind the tastes and expectations of paying clients. Covering the range of Greek style and its growth between the early Archaic and Hellenistic periods, Giuliani describes the intellectual, social, and artistic contexts in which the images were created. He reveals that developments in Greek vase painting were driven as much by the times as they were by tradition-the better-known the story, the less leeway the artists had in interpreting it. As literary culture transformed from an oral tradition, in which stories were always in flux, to the stability of written texts, the images produced by artists eventually became nothing more than illustrations of canonical works. At once a work of cultural and art history, Image and Myth builds a new way of understanding the visual culture of ancient Greece.
