Drawing the Greek Vase: Classical Reception Between Art and Archaeology – eBook

What impact have 2D images of ancient Greek vases had on our understanding of these artifacts and the classical era? This groundbreaking scholarly volume delves into the world of drawings, prints, and photographs of Greek vases throughout modern times. Through captivating case studies spanning from the 17th to the 20th century, it showcases how artists have portrayed Greek vases in various styles and settings, both within and outside the academic realm.

In this volume, we delve into the transformation of three-dimensional ancient utilitarian objects with central iconography into two-dimensional graphic images of aesthetic and epistemic value. We explore how drawing as an embodied practice allows people to engage with Greek vases in a unique way, shedding light on ancient producers and users. Additionally, we examine the impact of photography’s invention on the tradition of drawing Greek vases. This work speaks to art historians, archaeologists, and classical reception scholars across the seventeenth to twentieth centuries.
