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.

The Handbook of Greek Sculpture aims to provide a detailed examination of current research and directions in the field. Bringing together an international cast of contributors from Greece, Italy, France, Great Britain, Germany, and the United States, the volume incorporates new areas of research, such as the sculptures of Messene and Macedonia, sculpture in Roman Greece, and the contribution of Greek sculptors in Rome, as well as important aspects of Greek sculpture like techniques and patronage. The written sources (literary and epigraphical) are explored in dedicated chapters, as are function and iconography and the reception of Greek sculpture in modern Europe. Inspired by recent exhibitions on Lysippos and Praxiteles, the book also revisits the style and the personal contributions of the great masters.

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.
