"Antinous: Boy Made God is the catalogue of an exhibition that center's around one of the most important surviving portraits of Antinous, an inscribed bust from Syria found in 1879 and currently in a private collection. The piece is basically unpublished and will be presented for the first time to the wider public in this volume. Other key portraits, as well as coins of Antinous, medals and bronze figurines, feature here, and help contextualise the image of this country boy who was greatly loved by the Emperor Hadrian and became a hero and a god within the Empire. The exhibition and the book's narrative highlight the range and variety of Antinous' reception and shows how the fascination and reach of his image went well beyond antiquity into the modern world. It reconstructs a visual biography of an extraordinarily fascinating figure, representing an ideal of perfect beauty for many centuries after his tragic death."--Publisher's website

How did the statues of ancient Greece wind up dictating art history in the West? How did the material culture of the Greeks and Romans come to be seen as "classical" and as "art"? What does "classical art" mean across time and place? In this ambitious, richly illustrated book, art historian and classicist Caroline Vout provides an original history of how classical art has been continuously redefined over the millennia as it has found itself in new contexts and cultures. All of this raises the question of classical art's future.What we call classical art did not simply appear in ancient Rome, or in the Renaissance, or in the eighteenth-century Academy. Endlessly repackaged and revered or rebuked, Greek and Roman artifacts have gathered an amazing array of values, both positive and negative, in each new historical period, even as these objects themselves have reshaped their surroundings. Vout shows how this process began in antiquity, as Greeks of the Hellenistic period transformed the art of fifth-century Greece, and continued through the Roman empire, Constantinople, European court societies, the neoclassical English country house, and the nineteenth century, up to the modern museum.A unique exploration of how each period of Western culture has transformed Greek and Roman antiquities and in turn been transformed by them, this book revolutionizes our understanding of what classical art has meant and continues to mean.

This volume presents an innovative look at the imagery of libations, the most commonly depicted ritual in ancient Greece, and how it engaged viewers in religious performance. In a libation, liquid, water, wine, milk, oil, or honey, was poured from a vessel such as a jug or a bowl onto the ground, an altar, or another surface. Libations were made on occasions like banquets, sacrifices, oath-taking, departures to war, and visitations to tombs, and their iconography provides essential insight into religious and social life in 5th-century BC Athens. Scenes depicting the ritual often involved beholders directly - a statue's gaze might establish the onlooker as a fellow participant, or painted vases could draw parallels between human practices and acts of gods or heroes. Illustrated with a broad range of examples, including the Caryatids at the Acropolis, the Parthenon Frieze, Attic red-figure pottery, and funerary sculpture, this important book demonstrates the power of Greek art to transcend the boundaries between visual representation and everyday experience.

Als scheinbar unverfänglicher terminus technicus ist der Begriff des Attributs in den Bildwissenschaften bisher theoretisch unterschätzt. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, grundsätzliche Problematiken in griechischen Bildern aufzuzeigen, welche sich am Attribut kristallisieren und mit denen die Bilder (und ihre modernen Interpreten) in immer neuen Strategien einen Umgang finden mussten: die Zeit(lichkeit)en im Bild und die Frage nach der Identität. Die Untersuchung ist nicht auf eine einzige Denkmälergattung beschränkt, sondern greift in gezielten, nahsichtigen Fallstudien auf unterschiedliche Bildmedien zu, mit einem Schwerpunkt auf der attischen Vasenmalerei und der Rund- und Bauplastik. Der Untersuchungszeitraum ist auf das 6. und 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. fokussiert, mit einzelnen Rückbezügen auf frühgriechische und Ausblicken auf hellenstisch-römische Bilder. Auf Fragen des diachronen Wandels liegt ein besonderes Augenmerk. Bezogen auf ein im bildwissenschaftlichen Diskurs marginalisiertes Bildelement, wirft die Untersuchung grundlegende Fragen der Geschichte der Bilder und der Methode ihrer Interpretation auf, und wendet sich damit über die Klassische Archäologie hinaus auch an die Kunstgeschichte.
