The Triumph and Trade of Egyptian Objects in Rome

Collecting Art in the Ancient Mediterranean

About this book

Image & Context (ICON) ist die erste internationale Reihe, die dem Bild und dem Funktionieren von Bildern in der Antike gilt. Das einzigartige Potential des Bildes beruht auf seiner Suggestion. Ein Bild kann die Aufmerksamkeit des Betrachters im Bruchteil einer Sekunde fesseln und sich ihm für immer einprägen. Das führt zu den Kernfragen der Reihe: Wie und von wem wurden Bilder entworfen und wahrgenommen, wie beeinflussten sie das Denken und Handeln des Betrachters, und wie wurden sie für die Bedürfnisse verschiedener Lebenskontexte eingesetzt? Die Reihe zielt darauf, neue Diskussionen und Ansätze zu einer Geschichte der antiken Bild-Kulturen anzuregen.
