Echoes of Greek and Roman art have been used to shape and frame Western art and culture for centuries. In this course, we will examine how ancient Greeks and Romans used images to reflect personal and cultural ideologies and how those images were borrowed, appropriated, used and abused, in later periods. We will consider how iconographic and stylistic choices were deployed to convey or reify meaning at the time of production, as well as how the meaning of those objects might have been reinterpreted, or influenced the art of later eras. We will look at the legacy of antiquity especially in the context of the 18th-19th century birth of archaeology and building of European collections and how they influenced modern notions of the Antique and Western art. The vagaries and issues surrounding the contemporary market in antiquities will also be explored.
