In the first centuries BCE and CE, Roman wall painters frequently
placed representations of works of art, especially panel paintings,
within their own mural compositions. Nathaniel B. Jones argues that
the depiction of panel painting within mural ensembles functioned
as a meta-pictorial reflection on the practice and status of
painting itself. This phenomenon provides crucial visual evidence
for both the reception of Greek culture and the interconnected
ethical and aesthetic values of art in the Roman world. Roman
meta-pictures, this book reveals, not only navigated social debates
on the production and consumption of art, but also created space on
the Roman wall for new modes of expression relating to pictorial
genres, the role of medium in artistic practice, and the history of
painting. Richly illustrated, the volume will be important for
anyone interested in the social, ethical, and aesthetic dimensions
of artworks, in the ancient Mediterranean and beyond.
