This volume of ten essays by classicists, art historians, and archaeologists traces the changing reception of Greek art over the centuries, from its early days during the Archaic period in Greece up through the mid-nineteenth century. Organized chronologically the essays study a variety of pieces, including sculptures, paintings, mirrors, and mosaics, and reveal a surprising overlap in the recurring themes of originality and reproduction, cultural identity, and desire.

“The book promises to be a substantive contribution in its own right to reception studies in relation to Greek art.”—Jas’ Elsner, University of Chicago

           



 “This is a significant contribution to the field and could well be made the textbook for a second-level Greek art course.”—Robin Osborne, University of Cambridge
