"When we try to make sense of pictures, what do we gain when we use a particular method--and
what might we be missing or even losing? Empirical experimentation on three types
of mythological imagery--a Classical Greek pot, a frieze from Hellenistic Pergamon
and a second-century CE Roman sarcophagus--enables Katharina Lorenz to demonstrate
how theoretical approaches to images (specifically, iconology, semiotics, and image
studies) impact the meanings we elicit from Greek and Roman art. A guide to Classical
images of myth, and also a critical history of Classical archaeology's attempts to
give meaning to pictures, this book establishes a dialogue with the wider field of
art history and proposes a new framework for the study of ancient visual culture.
It will be essential reading not just for students of classical art history and archaeology,
but for anyone interested in the possibilities--and the history--of studying visual
culture" ; "Proposes a new framework for the study of (ancient) visual culture based
on engagement with Greek and Roman mythological imagery, appealing to those seeking
to better their understanding of Greek and Roman cultural history; relates historiography
and method development in Classical archaeology and ancient art history to the art
history of more modern periods, and will therefore be of interest to readers interested
in the Classical world and those concerned with more recent historical periods; tracks
intellectual developments in different contexts and carves out their similarities
and differences, speaking to readers from different intellectual backgrounds and familiarising
them with broader developments in Western European art history"--Publisher's website
