Art and international relations during the Late Bronze Age formed a symbiosis as expanded travel and written communications fostered unprecedented cultural exchange across the Mediterranean. Diplomacy in these new political and imperial relationships was often maintained through the exchange of lavish art objects and luxury goods. The items bestowed during this time shared a repertoire of imagery that modern scholars call the first International Style in the history of art. Marian Feldman's 'Diplomacy by Design' examines the profound connection between art produced during this period and its social context, revealing inanimate objects as catalysts& or even participants& in human dynamics. Feldman's fascinating study shows the ways in which the exchange of these works of art actively mediated and strengthened political relations, intercultural interactions, and economic negotiations. Previous studies of this international style have focused almost exclusively on stylistic attribution at the expense of social contextualization. Written by a specialist in ancient Near Eastern art and archaeology who has excavated and traveled extensively in this area of the world, 'Diplomacy by Design' provides a much broader consideration of the symbolic power of material culture and its centrality in the construction of human relations.

Ce volume contient les actes de trois séminaires consacrés aux problèmes de l’interprétation de l’image antique. L’étude de quelques grands programmes figuratifs de l’archaïsme grec (boucliers d’Achille et d’Héraclès, larnax de Cypsélos, trône d’Amyclées) dont l’impact sur la culture politique de l’Italie antique a été déterminant en constitue le premier volet. Le second est une étude comparative des procédés de l’abstraction et des modes de la narration en Daunie, Peucétie et Messapie, ainsi que dans les domaines celtique et ibérique. Le troisième est un examen d’iconographies et d’objets symboliques en rapport avec le statut et le rôle de la femme au sein de sociétés différentes (Grèce, Étrurie, Rome). L’analyse archéologique et philologique des documents est conçue dans une perspective historique et iconologique, seule capable de rendre compte de la complexité et de l’unité des phénomènes culturels, religieux, sociaux et politiques éclairant la création des images et des systèmes de représentation de l’Antiquité.

An innovative exploration of the arts of antiquity, from the earliest European cave paintings to the coming of Christianity and Buddhism in the Old World and the arrival of the Spaniards in the New World. 

Dividing the ancient world into three broad climatic categoriesthe northern nomadic, the temperate farmers and city dwellers, and the tropicalJohn Boardman focuses on common solutions that Man the Artist has devised for the problems posed by the environment, a factor that has also determined the nature of society and its arts. The solutions are shown to have been very similar worldwide within each broad environmental zone, and the pattern can be demonstrated in the arts no less than in social organization. Richly illustrated and clearly captioned, the book covers the full range of ancient art produced across the globe, from China and Egypt through Classical Greece to South America, Africa, Australasia, and Oceania. It illuminates the many similarities and differences to be observed over the millennia in which artists were required to serve man and his gods more completely than they have ever done since.
