The passage from Imperial Rome to the era of late antiquity, when
the Roman Empire underwent a religious conversion to Christianity,
saw some of the most significant and innovative developments in
Western culture. This stimulating book investigates the role of the
visual arts, the great diversity of paintings, statues, luxury
arts, and masonry, as both reflections and agents of those changes.
Jas' Elsner's ground-breaking account discusses both Roman and
early Christian art in relation to such issues as power, death,
society, acculturation, and religion. By examining questions of
reception, viewing, and the culture of spectacle alongside the more
traditional art-historical themes of imperial patronage and
stylistic change, he presents a fresh and challenging
interpretation of an extraordinarily rich cultural crucible in
which many fundamental developments of later European art had their
origins. This second edition includes a new discussion of the
Eurasian context of Roman art, an updated bibliography, and new,
full colour illustrations.
