Abstract

"The subject of deformity and disability in the ancient Greco-Roman world has experienced a surge in scholarship over the past two decades. Recognizing a vast, but relatively un(der)explored, corpus of evidence, scholars have sought to integrate the deformed and disabled body back into our understanding of ancient society and culture, art and representation. The Hunchback in Hellenistic and Roman Art works towards this end, using the figure of the hunchback to re-think and re-read images of the 'Other' as well as key issues that lie at the very heart of ancient representation. The author takes an art-historical approach, examining key features of the corpus of hunchbacks, as well as representations of the deformed and disabled more generally. This provides fertile ground for a re-assessment of current, and likewise marginalized, scholarship on the miniature in ancient art, hyperphallicism in ancient art, and the emphasis on the male body in ancient art."-- The subject of deformity and disability in the ancient Greco-Roman world has experienced a surge in scholarship over the past two decades.

Abstract

In the Roman era, paintings, mosaics, and frescoes show an increasing interest in the representation of the objects of daily life, and so it is from this period that the genre of the still life originates, a theme that has had an important place in western art. This book is devoted to the presentation and the study of these works, some of them never before published. The works, which give evidence of the skill of the artists and artisans who realized them, are set in their historical context. There are, among other pieces of evidence, a series of texts, mainly poetic, devoted to this theme: to the description of food, of various objects, of gifts made during feasting scenes. The author analyzes some of the Epigrams of the Roman poet Martial, which describe, often humorously, the ephemera of daily life. This book by Jean-Michel Croisille, a specialist in Roman painting, is the result of extensive work with ancient texts and paintings. It offers a unique approach to Roman culture, between poetry and pictoral art "C'est à l'époque romaine que peintures, mosaïques et fresques montrent un intérêt croissant pour la représentation des objets de la vie quotidienne, si bien que l'on situe désormais à cette période l'origine du genre de la nature morte, thème appelé à prendre une place considérable dans l'art occidental. Cet ouvrage est d'abord consacré à la présentation et à l'étude de ces oeuvres, pour certaines inédites, replacées dans leur contexte historique, qui témoignent de la finesse des artistes et artisans qui les réalisèrent. Il existe, par ailleurs, toute une série de textes, principalement poétiques, consacrés au même thème, qu'il s'agisse de la description de victuailles, d'objets variés ou de cadeaux faits lors de scènes de repas. Dans une démarche originale, l'auteur s'attache aux Épigrammes du poète Martial, écrites au 1er siècle de notre ère, pour souligner les correspondances frappantes existant entre son oeuvre et les représentations de natures mortes quasi contemporaines. Loin de la pompe et du triomphe romains, elles parlent, avec humour parfois, de l'éphémère de la vie quotidienne. Ce livre de Jean-Michel Croisille, spécialiste de la peinture romaine, est le fruit d'un travail approfondi sur les textes et la peinture antiques. Il offre une approche singulière de la culture romaine, entre poésie et art pictural"--

Abstract

"This volume was born from a desire to leave a tangible trace of the scholarly encounters that have taken place in the past two years at the Center for Early Medieval Studies of the Department of Art History at Masaryk University in Brno. Speaking in various forums Xavier Barral i Altet, Nicolas Bock, Valentina Cantone, Herbert Kessler, Serena Romano and Elisabetta Scirocco have sparked exciting discussions of what continues to be known as a Middle Age. The common denominator that unites all of the scholarly work presented was the dialogue between the medieval "present" and the antique world: from Venice through Campania to Milan, from Constantinople to Burgundy, there emerged an intellectual and visual experience that suggests the medieval period was a uniquely fertile moment for engagement with the heritage of antiquity, filtered and mediated in different ways, but ever present. The purpose of this volume is to understand why and how patterns, images and ideas from the mythical (but visible) ancient past were received throughout the medieval millennium. We seek, that is, to understand why, hic et nunc, clients and workshops deliberately chose to speak in a "classicizing" aesthetic language, or to appropriate concepts belonging to the antique tradition wholesale."--Publisher's website.
