Rich with passion, inspiration, jealousy, and endless speculation, the story of The Portland Vase spans more than two thousand years and remains one of the art world's greatest enigmas.
Download or read book The Portland Vase written by Susan Walker and published by Object in Focus. This book was released on 2004 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Portland Vase is the most famous cameo-glass vessel from antiquity, probably made during the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus (27BC - AD14). The scenes on the vessel have long perplexed and enchanted in equal measure. The subject is clearly one of love and marriage, but who are the figures and are they historical or mythological? This book offers an exciting new reading of the vase, setting it in the context of the dramatic relationships between the houses of Octavian, Antony and Cleopatra. It also explores the lively history of the vase, from the earliest records in Italy in 1601, to its purchase by Sir William Hamilton and the dukes of Portland, and its abiding influence on British craftsmen such as Josiah Wedgwood whose copies helped to make it famous.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die antike römische Portlandvase aus Überfangglas gehört zu den Schätzen des Britischen Museums und ist zugleich eine globale »Marke«, die seit Jahrhunderten bei Kunsthandwerker:innen, Sammler:innen und Käufer:innen hoch im Kurs steht und unzählige Male kopiert und neu interpretiert wurde. Der Band geht der spannenden Frage nach, warum und auf welche Weise die einmalige antike Vase über Zeit und Raum hinweg zur legendären künstlerischen und kommerziellen Muse oder, wie man heute sagen würde, »Influencerin« für Kunstschaffende wie Josiah Wedgwood, Viola Frey, Chris Wight, Michael Eden, Nicole Cherubini, Clare Twomey und Roberto Lugo wurde. Anhand von mehr als 65 Werken und reich bebildert wird die Rolle von Marken in unserer Kultur untersucht und erklärt, warum klassische Traditionen den künstlerischen Kanon dominieren und wie diese Traditionen neu gedacht und revolutioniert werden können.
