A collection of paied essays, written by some of the most noted scholars in their fields, this volume represents an instructive sample of approaches to the history of world art of all periods, covering ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, preconquest Mexico and Peru, Islam, China, Japan, Renaissance and baroque Italy, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century France, and the United States in the twentieth century and today. The book is structured as a series of dialogues, each focusing on an issue, a period, or a crux of scholarship. As a common thread, they propose new readings of works in cultural context and challenge traditional concepts and classifications, suggesting both the coherence and the complexity of art history in the twenty-first century.

Back cover: Quelle est la fonction des représentations du divin et aussi des hommes dans le Proche-Orient ancien? Quelles sont les différentes manières de rendre visible des dieux et quelles en sont les fonctions particulières? Ces représentations matérielles et visuelles permettent-elles de mieux comprendre les cultes officiels et les cultes privés? Quel est le rôle des images dans le culte royal? Est-ce le roi ou tous les humains qui sont "l'image" des dieux? Pour quelles raisons décide-t-on d'interdire des images cultuelles? Y a-t-il des précurseurs à l'interdiction biblique dans le Proche-Orient ou ailleurs? Comment les représentations des dieux et des hommes changent-elles en l'absence d'image cultuelle? Le colloque "Représenter dieux et hommes dans le Proche-Orient ancien et dans la Bible", qui s'est tenu les 5 et 6 mai 2015 au Collège de France, avait pour but d'éclairer ces questions autour de l'image, un sujet central pour l'intelligence des religions anciennes et modernes. Back cover: What was the function of representing deities and also humans in the ancient Near-East? Which were the different ways of making gods visible, and the specific functions of these representations? Might these material and visual representations help us to better understand official cults, as well as private cults? What was the role of images in the royal cult? Was the king the only "image" of the gods, or could all humans fulfill this role? Why were cult images forbidden? Does the biblical prohibition have any precedent or parallel in the ancient Near-East, or elsewhere? And how do the ways of representing gods and humans change in the absence of cultic images?
