This edited volume explores the intermediality of image and text in Graeco-Roman sculpture. Through its choice of authors, disciplinary backgrounds are deliberately merged in order to bridge the traditional gap between archaeologists, epigraphists and philologists, who for a long time studied statues, material inscriptions and literary epigrams within the closely confined borders of their individual disciplines. Through its choice of objects, privileging works of which there are significant material remains, through its inclusion of all kinds of figural-cum-inscriptional designs, ranging from grand sculpture to reliefs and ‘decorative’ marble-objects, and through its methodological emphasis on ‘close viewing’ (and reading!) of individual objects, this volume focuses on the materiality of both sculpture and inscription. This perspective is enriched by two comparative chapters on inscribing Greek vases and Roman walls (graffiti). The intermediality of image and inscription is envisaged from various thematic angles, including the intricacies of combining image and epigram (both materially and in literary projection), the original production and reception of inscribed sculpture in its ‘long life’, the viewing and ‘reading’ of sculpture in a space of movement, the issue of (re-)naming statues, and the image and inscription in its social and gender-historical context.

Quelle place pour l’artisan et l’artiste dans la société grecque ancienne ? Ce livre revient sur un débat ancien et complexe à travers le cas des sculpteurs : leur carrière, de l’apprentissage à la pleine possession de leur art, le processus de création, de la commande à la livraison, et l’image que les sociétés antiques ont véhiculée d’eux. Si l’archéologie et l’anthropologie ont renouvelé les données depuis les années 1970, elles ont focalisé l’attention sur les sources matérielles et les activités de production. Archéologue et historienne d’art formée à la philologie classique, l’auteur s’appuie sur le riche corpus des sources écrites : textes littéraires, souvent contradictoires, et inscriptions – comptes de chantiers, signatures, décrets honorifiques – qui donnent un éclairage différent, celui des réalités économiques et sociales, et nuancent la vision partiale du travail des artisans qu’offrent les philosophes. Le prétendu mépris des Grecs pour les artisans et les artistes n’est qu’un fantasme de moraliste : de fait, les artistes jouissaient d’une considération importante, qui se traduisait dans la valeur marchande de leurs œuvres. Le livre propose ainsi une vision dynamique et moderne de l’artiste antique, loin du « primitivisme » qui a longtemps prévalu. Il revient sur le problème de la « construction » historique de la figure de l’artiste et montre que l’étude de l’image et de l’imaginaire de l’artisan constitue, au même titre que la documentation archéologique, un objet d’histoire.

Meisterwerke der griechischen Kunst, Statuen und Gemälde, wurden ab republikanischer Zeit in großer Zahl von ihren originalen Standorten nach Rom entführt. Dort schmückten sie öffentliche Orte, genau wie Jahrhunderte später wiederum griechische Kunstwerke, die in die neue Hauptstadt Konstantinopel versetzt wurden. Der vorliegende Band liefert uns eine Fülle an schriftlichen und archäologischen Zeugnissen zu den Werken und ihren neuen Standorten. Die Verfasserin erklärt das Phänomen in einer breiten Perspektive, die von römischen Kunstkriterien zur politischen Kommunikation führt. Zentraler Begriff ist das Decorum, das "Passende", das nach Cicero die stimmige Kombination eines bedeutungsvollen Kontextes mit der Selbstdarstellung des Auftraggebers und den inhaltlichen Aussagen der Werke selbst bezeichnet. Chronologisch fortschreitend ist zu verfolgen, wie die griechischen Kunstwerke als Decorum öffentlicher Orte Roms eingesetzt wurden, von den Tempeln der republikanischen Imperatoren bis zu den komplexen Ausstattungen kaiserzeitlicher Fora. Im Kontext ziviler Aktivitäten und staatlicher Zeremonien vermittelten sie ein weites Spektrum an politischen Werten und Programmausssagen des Herrscherhauses. Die Werke, die ab dem 4. Jh. n. Chr. auf politische Plätze der neuen Hauptstadt versetzt wurden, besaßen noch immer das Potential, die Facetten herrscherlicher Macht und Sieghaftigkeit zur Anschauung zu bringen. Der vergleichende Blick auf Konstantinopel bestätigt die anhaltende Bedeutung von griechischen Werken als adäquatem Schmuck politischer Räume. Erst im 6. Jh. n. Chr. verloren ihre paganen Inhalte jeden Zusammenhang mit dem Weltbild einer christlichen Gesellschaft. Zweifellos waren - so zeigt die Verfasserin - griechische Kunstwerke in der "Emigration" kein Randphänomen, sondern ein wesentlicher Beitrag zum politischen Leben Roms und Konstantinopels.

Exploring this interplay, Guy Métraux shows how the depiction of physiological processes gave statues and reliefs their animating force and how many medical and philosophical speculations about the body were derived from depictions in art. He examines works such as the Omphalos Apollo, the relief of the Girl with Doves from Paros, and the recently discovered two bronze warriors from Riace, paying particular attention to developments in the depiction of breathing, blood vessels, and facial expression, to attempts to show actual or potential motion, and to the invention of contrapposto (asymmetry of stance). Sculptors and Physicians in Fifth-Century Greece is a fascinating examination of the interaction between art and ideas in Greek intellectual life.

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 meaning of architectural sculpture is essential to our understanding of ancient Greek culture. The embellishment of buildings was common for the ancient Greeks, and often provocative. Some ornamental sculpture was placed where, when the building was finished, no mortal eye could view it. And unlike much architectural ornamentation of other cultures, Greek sculpture was often integral to the building, not just as decoration, and could not be removed without affecting the integrity of the building structure. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the significance of Greek architectural sculpture. Brunilde Sismondo Ridgway, a world-class authority on ancient Greek sculpture, provides a highly informative tour of many dimensions of Greek public buildings-especially temples, tombs, and treasuries-in a text that is at once lucid, accessible, and authoritative.Ridgway's pragmatism and common sense steer us tactfully and clearly through thickets of uncertainty and scholarly disagreement. She refers to a huge number of monuments, and documents her discussions with copious and up-to-date bibliographies. This book is sure to be acknowledged at once as the standard treatment of its important topic.

Gender and the Body in Greek and Roman Sculpture offers incisive analysis of selected works of ancient art through a critical use of cutting-edge theory from gender studies, body studies, art history and other related fields. The book raises important questions about ancient sculpture and the contrasting responses that the individual works can be shown to evoke. Rosemary Barrow gives close attention to both original context and modern experience, while directly addressing the question of continuity in gender and body issues from antiquity to the early modern period through a discussion of the sculpture of Bernini. Accessible and fully illustrated, her book features new translations of ancient sources and a glossary of Greek and Latin terms. It will be an invaluable resource and focus for debate for a wide range of readers interested in ancient art, gender and sexuality in antiquity, and art history and gender and body studies more broadly.
