This book explores the historiography of ancient Near Eastern and Classical art by examining the social, intellectual and institutional contexts that have influenced the way that the history of ancient art is written. It demonstrates how the study and interpretation of ancient art reflect contemporary ideas and exercises from the Renaissance to the present. Among the subjects considered are the classical tradition in the post-antique West; the emergence of academic disciplines; the role of museums in the evaluation of ancient art; and issues of race, gender and cultural authority in the interpretation of ancient civilizations.
ReviewReview of the hardback: ‘… a readable and provocative reflectiveness on the subject, of interest to any art historian.’ The Burlington Magazine
Review of the hardback: ‘… this is a stimulating and thought-provoking collection which will be of interest both to scholars of ancient art and to those mesmerized in the reception and uses of the ancient world from antiquity to the present day.’ Journal of Hellenic Studies
