Book excerpt: Scholars around the world are researching the degree to which colour was employed in classical and medieval sculpture. Their numerous activities and projects were most recently presented and debated at an international colloquium held in the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung in Frankfurt. The current contributions of 20 internationally known scholars are brought together in this richly illustrated book in English. Among specialists, the educated layperson's ideal of an antiquity in shining white marble has long since been dismissed as an historical error. The classical and medieval reality of coloured sculpture is now regarded as an incontrovertible fact. As long ago as the early 19th century, statues with remains of their original paint were not only discovered in Greece, but news of them was published. In the 20th century, these discoveries were at first neglected. However the work done by a team under the archeologist Vinzenz Brinkmann, resulting in an exhibition shown worldwide since 2003 entitled"Gods in Colour", has put new life into this research and literally changed the way we see Antiquity. The extent of this revolution is graphically captured by the present volume with articles ranging from the controversial history of this research to the current state of the art of reconstructing historical painting techniques and the latest scientific methods of analyzing material residues. It culminates in the changes in the perception and significance of sculpture brought about by colour. With illustrations and commentary on numerous examples of ancient and medieval works, this volume unfolds a rich panorama of polychrome statuary on the basis of the latest research results.

Download or read book Small Objects from the Pnyx written by Gladys R. Davidson and published by . This book was released on 1943 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The range of material discarded by citizens attending the Athenian assembly on the Pnyx hill is hardly notable for its art historical interest. However, this catalogue of different sorts of objects found during excavations between 1931 and 1937 provides interesting insights into the social history of the city, especially ca. 425-325 B.C. when use of the Pnyx was at its height. The catalogue of each class of object is preceded by a short introductory essay. The book includes discussion of inscriptions, Dikasts' name-plates, coins, weights, graffiti and dipinti, sculpture, lamps, loomweights, spindle whorls, implements, fittings and molds, jewelry, seal impressions, votive objects, glass, and figurines.

Book excerpt: This, the ninth volume of Coin Hoards, is again dedicated solely to hoards of Greek coins. It includes hoards from all areas around the Mediterranean from the sixth century BC to the second century AD. Coin Hoards IX, together with the previous volumes in the series, thus forms an essential supplement to the Inventory of Greek Coin Hoards, published in 1973 by Thompson, Morkholm and Kraay. Since the last volume, published eight years ago, the number of Greek coin hoards has increased considerably. Not only does this volume list new hoards, but it also updates and often amends information on hoards already published. Overall, the inventory for this volume consists of 744 entries, with detailed references to find-spot (if known), content, approximate burial date and bibliography. In addition to the inventory, Coin Hoards IX also contains the detailed publication of a number of significant hoards. An important aspect of this volume is the inclusion of 66 plates of photographs illustrating a large proportion of those coins described. This volume will be in indispensable tool for all future research in the field.

Download or read book Choes and Anthesteria written by Richard Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this compelling work Richard Hamilton employs a revolutionary methodology to investigate a crucial area of Greek religion. The Athenian spring festival Anthesteria, held in honor of the god Dionysos, arguably incorporated thee most complicated rituals recorded for Classical Athens. The central second day of the festival, called Choes, provides a rare opportunity to study the relationship between literary and visual evidence. Not only do we possess a wide variety of written testimonia, there also survive large quantities of the small clay pots that gave the day its name. Choes and Anthesteria begins by offering translations of the testimonia for the Anthesteria, together with analyses of difficult literary and philological points. Hamilton then turns to the visual evidence. The repetitive motifs seen on the choes make possible the ensuing statistical consideration of the vases' evidence. By documenting the independent and joint occurrences of iconographical images that appear in the numerous plates, the author reveals that many aspects of the traditional view of this major festival require clarification or thorough revision. Indeed, he shows that the kinds of evidence traditionally deployed in defense of scholarly views instead need very careful treatment and discrimination. Choes and Anthesteria will find its audience among those interested in Greek literature and society, religious ritual and artistic iconography. The author sheds a bright light upon a critical phase of Athenian life, and his unusual methodological approach reveals a new reading of this famous civic festival.

Book excerpt: The pottery from Naukratis--the original sanctuary is now submerged--is dispersed in museums all over the world, but the lion's share remains in Egypt, particularly in the large collection in the Graeco-Roman Museum in Alexandria, and until now it has remained almost completely unpublished.
