  • Statues, Stelai, and Turning Posts in Greece, c.565–c.465 BCE: The Limits of Iconography

    Richard NeerCHAPTERLandscape and Space2021

    This essay is about Greek sculpture of the Archaic and Classical periods but addresses larger issues of method. It argues that iconography, while indispensable, is a limited way to study sculpture. As an alternative, it addresses some of the ways in which Greek sculptural monuments could intervene in landscapes. It examines the connections between statues, stelai, turning posts and boundary stones in the Greek imagination. A secondary goal is to …

  • Small Wonders Figurines, Puppets, and the Aesthetics of Scale in Archaic and Classical Greece

    Richard NeerCHAPTERFigurines2020

    This chapter addresses the aesthetics of smallness with regard to material from Archaic and Classical Greece (roughly, from the late eighth to the late fourth centuries BCE). It sketches a range of historical possibilities to relate ancient Greek concepts of scale and likeness to the research protocols of art history and archaeology. It explores the ancient concepts and corpora, with two propositions: 1. that smallness in Archaic and Classical Gr…

  • Three Types of Invisibility: The Acropolis of Athens

    Richard NeerCHAPTERConditions of Visibility2019

    Classical Greek monuments were meant to be seen. The poet Pindar often refers to the conspicuousness of architecture: “When a work is begun,” he declares, “it is necessary to make its façade far-beaming” (Olympian 6.3–4), and a sacred precinct can be tēlephantos, “shining from afar” (fr. 5 SM). According to Plato, the works of Pheidias were made “conspicuously” (periphanōs), literally, “so as to seen round about,” a term that can also be used to …

  • Conditions of Visibility

    Richard NeerBOOKConditions of Visibility2019

    We often assume that works of visual art are meant to be seen. Yet that assumption may be a modern prejudice. The ancient world - from China to Greece, Rome to Mexico - provides many examples of statues, paintings, and other images that were not intended to be visible. Instead of being displayed, they were hidden, buried, or otherwise obscured. In this third volume in the 'Visual Conversations in Art & Archaeology' series, leading scholars workin…

  • Pindar, Song, and Space: Towards a Lyric Archaeology

    Richard Neer, Leslie KurkeBOOKPindar, Song, and Space2019Cited by: 3

    "In this volume, Richard Neer and Leslie Kurke develop a new, integrated approach to classical Greece: a "lyric archaeology" that combines literary and art-historical analysis with archaeological and epigraphic materials. At the heart of the book is the great poet Pindar of Thebes, best known for his magnificent odes in honor of victors at the Olympic Games and other competitions. Unlike the quintessentially personal genre of modern lyric, these …

  • Was the Knidia a statue

    Richard NeerCHAPTERComparativism in Art History2017

    Comparativism must, it seems, assume that they are shareable, or at least comparable, if it is to have anything to study. For an arch-comparativist like André Malraux, it went without saying that the taxonomies of the "museum without walls" were universal. In a seminal discussion of divine imagery in the Greco-Roman world, now more than thirty years old, Richard Gordon started from the observation that the Greeks tend to talk about statues of the…

  • Greek and Roman Animal Sacrifice: Ancient Victims, Modern Observers

    Open AccessClifford Ando, Bruce Lincoln et al.BOOKGreek and Roman Animal Sacrifice2012

    The interpretation of animal sacrifice, now considered the most important ancient Greek and Roman religious ritual, has long been dominated by the views of Walter Burkert, the late J.-P. Vernant, and Marcel Detienne. No penetrating and general critique of their views has appeared and, in particular, no critique of the application of these views to Roman religion. Nor has any critique dealt with the use of literary and visual sources by these writ…

  • Texte et image dans l’Antiquité: Lire, voir et percevoir

    Open AccessSusanne Muth, Richard Neer et al.ARTICLEPerspective2012Cited by: 1References: 3

    Le rapport entre texte et image a toujours joué un rôle primordial dans l’étude de l’art de l’Antiquité. En effet, la perte de la quasi-totalité de la peinture antique (surtout avant les découvertes à Pompéi et Herculaneum au xviiie siècle) a obligé les savants, artistes et commanditaires de la Renaissance à avoir recours aux textes, comme les Images de Philostrate ou la Calomnie d’Apelle de Lucien, pour reconstruire à la fois une conception de l…

    “For Froma Zeitlin” / “From the eighth century onwards, the history of inter-state sanctuaries, including the two most prestigious, Olympia and Delphi,was the history of the establishment of a state framework for pilgrimage.” - Catherine Morgan, Athletes and Oracles , 234. / The “Panhellenic” sanctuaries of Delphi, Olympia, and Delos are astonishingly complex, and their importance for the history of early Greece can hardly be overstated. To consi…

    Imitation, Inscription, Antilogic (pp. 17-38) Le développement du raccourci, du clair-obscur et du paysage au cours du Ve siècle transforme de manière radicale l'utilisation des inscriptions, les ressemblances fonctionnelles entre les deux techniques désignées par le même terme graphein s'atténuant graduellement. L'analyse de deux vases du peintre de Lycaon et un du peintre de Pénélope permet de montrer comment l'écriture se développe et se pose …
