How have two-dimensional images of ancient Greek vases shaped
modern perceptions of these artefacts and of the classical past?
This is the first scholarly volume devoted to the exploration of
drawings, prints, and photographs of Greek vases in modernity. Case
studies of the seventeenth to the twentieth century foreground ways
that artists have depicted Greek vases in a range of styles and
contexts within and beyond academia. Questions addressed include:
how do these images translate three-dimensional ancient utilitarian
objects with iconography central to the tradition of Western
painting and decorative arts into two-dimensional graphic images
carrying aesthetic and epistemic value? How does the embodied
practice of drawing enable people to engage with Greek vases
differently from museum viewers, and what insights does it offer on
ancient producers and users? And how did the invention of
photography impact the tradition of drawing Greek vases? The volume
addresses art historians of the seventeenth to twentieth centuries,
archaeologists and classical reception scholars.
