The frames of classical art are often seen as marginal to the
images that they surround. Traditional art history has tended to
view framing devices as supplementary 'ornaments'. Likewise,
classical archaeologists have often treated them as tools for
taxonomic analysis. This book not only argues for the integral role
of framing within Graeco-Roman art, but also explores the
relationship between the frames of classical antiquity and those of
more modern art and aesthetics. Contributors combine close formal
analysis with more theoretical approaches: chapters examine framing
devices across multiple media (including vase and fresco painting,
relief and free-standing sculpture, mosaics, manuscripts and
inscriptions), structuring analysis around the themes of 'framing
pictorial space', 'framing bodies', 'framing the sacred' and
'framing texts'. The result is a new cultural history of framing -
one that probes the sophisticated and playful ways in which frames
could support, delimit, shape and even interrogate the images
contained within.
