This innovative look at ancient Greek painting combines the most
complete survey to date of the painted monuments of classical
antiquity with an in-depth exploration of the ways in which the
people of Ancient Greece appreciated this demanding art. Plantzos
looks at techniques, styles, themes and masters as well as their
admirers, clients, and critics. At the same time, he discusses
recent breakthroughs in archaeology, cultural studies, and art
history. The book is unique in its reflections of new,
multidisciplinary approaches to the material record which it
combines with a more traditional, art-historical exploration; it
draws on a wide range of ancient authorities - from Plato and
Xenophon to Cicero, Pliny, Lucian, and Philostratus. The book
covers painting in Bronze-Age Greece (Cyclades, Crete, Santorini,
Mycenaean Greece); painting of the Archaic, the Classical, and the
Hellenistic periods, and ends with a study of Graeco-Roman painting
in the 2nd-3rd c. AD. Dimitris Plantzos is the author of Greek Art
and Archaeology, 1200-30 BC (Kapon Editions, 2016).
