Abstract
Reconstructing a single coherent history of painted images over almost two and a half millennia and across a wide variety of cultural contexts in the Mediterranean and Europe is a daunting task, especially today, at a time when the notions of diversity and multiplicity play a crucial role in the study of classical antiquity. The editor Jerome J. Pollitt introduces this study as the first attempt, after Mary Hamilton Swindler’s 1929 Ancient Painting, to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of ancient Greek and Roman panel and mural painting from the Bronze Age to Late Antiquity, and to offer a critical assessment of past and current research on the paintings’ style, technique, iconography and sociocultural context. This ambitious study gathers nine essays by world-leading experts in different areas of ancient painting and is an essential tool for both students and specialists.
在近2500年的时间里,在地中海和欧洲的各种文化背景下,重建单一连贯的绘画图像历史是一项艰巨的任务,尤其是在今天,多样性和多样性的概念在古典古代研究中发挥着至关重要的作用。编辑Jerome J. Pollitt介绍了这项研究,作为继玛丽·汉密尔顿·斯温德勒(Mary Hamilton Swindler) 1929年的《古代绘画》(Ancient Painting)之后的第一次尝试,为从青铜时代到古代晚期的古希腊和罗马面板和壁画提供了全面和最新的调查,并对过去和现在对绘画风格、技术、肖像学和社会文化背景的研究提供了批判性的评估。这项雄心勃勃的研究收集了来自不同领域的世界领先专家的九篇论文,是学生和专家的重要工具。
