'This is a rich, subtle, well-researched, fair, and often convincing study ... [It] is essential reading for any serious student of Greek art in general and the Alexander Mosaic in particular.' American Journal of Archaeology
Reseña del editor:
This book focuses on one of the richest, most complex and visually stunning monuments of classical antiquity. Contributing to a vast tradition of scholarship, which dates back to the discovery of the Mosaic in 1831, Ada Cohen here engages with, but departs from, a core of positivist assumptions that characterize this body of literature. In this study, she examines the Mosaic as it may have functioned in two different contexts, first as a Greek painting of the fourth century BC, and then as a Roman mosaic of c. 100 BC. A variety of interpretive issues regarding history and art history are examined, suggesting broader implications for the study of ancient monuments.

Descripción Softcover. Condición: Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice older book in good condition. Pages in good condition. No notes or highlighting. Name in front. See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> It has generally been dated in the second half of the second century B.C., between 120 and 100, on the basis of both archaeological and stylistic evidence, such as the trompe l'oeil geometric pattern of its perspectival border with its four rosettes, one on each corner. Strictly speaking, then, it is a Roman work, fitting into a Roman context, if we understand "Roman" as a chronological term, in this particular case mostly designating the era of the later Roman Republic. The full complexity of the term has been unraveled by Otto Brendel, who elucidated the multiple meanings ? temporal, geographical, cultural, ethnic the designation Roman has come to encompass in scholarly analysis. As will be discussed in Chapter 7 of this book, the Pompeian cultural environment that saw the creation of the Alexander Mosaic. Nº de ref. del artículo: Batch-FM266-VG-6831
