The character of Roman art history has changed in recent years.
More than ever before, it is concerned with the role of art in
ancient society, including the functions that it served and the
values and assumptions that it reflects. At the same time, images
have become centrally important to the study of ancient history in
general. This book offers a new, critical introduction to Roman art
against the background of these developments. Focusing on selected
examples and themes, it sets the images in context, explains how
they have been interpreted, and explodes some of the modern myths
that surround them. It also explores some of the problems and
contradictions that we face when we try to deal with ancient art in
this manner. From wall-paintings to statues, from coins to the
gravestones, this is a lucid and often provocative reappraisal of
the world of Roman images.

Statues are among the most familiar remnants of classical art. Yet
their prominence in ancient society is often ignored. In the Roman
world statues were ubiquitous. Whether they were displayed as
public honours or memorials, collected as works of art, dedicated
to deities, venerated as gods, or violated as symbols of a defeated
political regime, they were recognized individually and
collectively as objects of enormous significance.
By analysing ancient texts and images, Statues in Roman Society
unravels the web of associations which surrounded Roman statues.
Addressing all categories of statuary together for the first time,
it illuminates them in ancient terms, explaining expectations of
what statues were or ought to be and describing the Romans' uneasy
relationship with 'the other population' in their midst.
The Wilton House sculptures constituted one of the largest and most
celebrated collections of ancient art in Europe. Originally
comprising some 340 works, the collection was formed around the
late 1710s and 1720s by Thomas Herbert, the eccentric 8th Earl of
Pembroke, who stubbornly 're-baptized' his busts and statues with
names of his own choosing. His sources included the famous
collection of Cardinal Mazarin, assembled in Paris in the 1640s and
1650s, and recent discoveries on the Via Appia outside Rome. Earl
Thomas regarded the sculptures as ancient - some of them among the
oldest works of art in existence - but in fact much of the
collection is modern and represents the neglected talents of
sixteenth-and seventeenth-century artists, restorers and copyists
who were inspired by Greek and Roman sculpture. About half of the
original collection remains intact today, adorning the Gothic
Cloisters that were built for it two centuries ago. After a long
decline, accelerated by the impact of the Second World War, the
sculptures have been rehabilitated in recent years. They include
masterpieces of Roman and early modern art, which cast fresh light
on Graeco-Roman antiquity, the classical tradition, and the history
of collecting. Illustrated with specially commissioned photographs,
this catalogue offers the first comprehensive publication of the
8th Earl's collection, including an inventory of works dispersed
from Wilton. It re-presents his personal vision of the collection
recorded in contemporary manuscripts. At the same time, it
dismantles some of the myths about it which originated with the
earl himself, and provides an authoritative archaeological and
art-historical analysis of the artefacts.
Statues were everywhere in the Roman world. They served as objects of cult, honours to emperors and noblemen, and memorials to the dead. Combining close attention to individual Roman texts and images with an unprecedented broad perspective on this remarkable phenomenon, Statues in Roman Society explains the impact which all kinds of statuary had on the ancient population.
"Gandharan Art in its Buddhist Context is the fifth set of papers
from the workshops of the Classical Art Research Centre's Gandhara
Connections project. These selected studies revolve around perhaps
the most fundamental topic of all for understanding Gandharan art:
its religious contexts and meanings within ancient Buddhism.
Addressing the responses of patrons and worshippers at the
monasteries and shrines of Gandhara, these papers seek to
understand more about why Gandharan art was made and what its
iconographical repertoire meant to ancient viewers. The
contributions from an array of international experts consider
dedicatory practices in monasteries, the representation of Buddhas,
and the lessons to be learned from some of the latest excavations
and survey work in the region."
Gandharan art is often regarded as the epitome of cultural exchange
in antiquity. The ancient region of Gandhara, centred on what is
now the northern tip of Pakistan, has been called the 'crossroads
of Asia'. The Buddhist art produced in and around this area in the
first few centuries AD exhibits extraordinary connections with
other traditions across Asia and as far as the Mediterranean. Since
the nineteenth century, the Graeco-Roman associations of Gandharan
art have attracted particular attention. Classically educated
soldiers and administrators of that era were astonished by the
uncanny resemblance of many works of Gandharan sculpture to Greek
and Roman art made thousands of miles to the west. More than a
century later we can recognize that the Gandharan artists'
appropriation of classical iconography and styles was diverse and
extensive, but the explanation of this 'influence' remains puzzling
and elusive. The Gandhara Connections project at the University of
Oxford's Classical Art Research Centre was initiated principally to
cast new light on this old problem. This volume is the third set of
proceedings of the project's annual workshop, and the first to
address directly the question of cross-cultural influence on and by
Gandharan art. The contributors wrestle with old controversies,
particularly the notion that Gandharan art is a legacy of
Hellenistic Greek rule in Central Asia and the growing consensus
around the important role of the Roman Empire in shaping it. But
they also seek to present a more complex and expansive view of the
networks in which Gandhara was embedded. Adopting a global
perspective on the subject, they examine aspects of Gandhara's
connections both within and beyond South Asia and Central Asia,
including the profound influence which Gandharan art itself had on
the development of Buddhist art in China and India.

Despite the central importance of connoisseurship in the rarefied
world of art collecting, it occupies an uncomfortable position in
modern scholarship. On the one hand, the concept retains a
significant role in the study of art and the care of public and
private collections when it is linked with art appreciation,
qualities visible to the attuned eye, or the processes of
attribution and authentication. On the other hand, the last century
has seen connoisseurship marginalized in academic discourse: it is
often associated with amateurism, social elitism, status-display,
and intellectual mystification. The present collection of essays
enters this breach and—by adopting a broad, interdisciplinary
approach—considers connoisseurship afresh, investigating its
practice in both familiar and unexpected places. Essays on the role
of connoisseurship in Western art history appear alongside
innovative, global perspectives on Chinese numismatics and walnut
collecting, wine and coffee expertise, the market for geological
specimens, and the parallels between Morellian connoisseurship and
modern forensics. These essays resonate with one another in
surprising ways and create new dialogues about connoisseurship's
meaning and application, demonstrating that its practice can be
both intuitive and scientific.
PRP is one of the most successful housing practices in the world.
Peter Phippen, Peter Randall and David Parkes founded the practice
in 1963, and since then have moved forward from their Modernist
beginnings, evidenced in the post-Second World War housing boom to
the diverse concerns of the twenty-first century - creating hospice
care and sheltered housing for the elderly and infirm, as well as
accommodating the need for sustainable, low-energy, zero-carbon
developments. "Place & Home: The Search for Better Housing"
comprises essays by Phippen, Randall and Parkes, Barry Munday and
Chris Rudolph on PRP's past and current work, as well as texts by
commissioned writers on the topics of 'place', 'building
technology' and 'home' in architecture. These are interspersed with
illustrated case studies of PRP's work with housing associations,
local authorities and private developers, in diverse locations
including Moscow, La Grande Motte, Milton Keynes, Manchester, and
Brixton - the latter of which Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London,
considers "sets the standard for what we should be achieving in
every social housing development in London".

From the faces of emperors to mythological sarcophagi, from
imperial propaganda to domestic wall-painting and the earliest
Christian images, this New Survey offers an up-to-date, illustrated
overview of the history of Roman art. Explaining the material in an
accessible and even-handed way, the
author seeks not only to introduce the art itself, but also to
survey and evaluate the range of approaches adopted by scholars in
the field. Organized around the loose categories of portraiture,
public monuments, funerary art, domestic art, and late antiquity,
the discussion introduces
representative monuments and problems in Roman art. It also serves
as an accessible, critical survey of the range of approaches
adopted by those attempting to explain the works. The text is aimed
at students, teachers, and anyone who wants to navigate a path
through the complexities of this vast but
increasingly popular area of study.
