Description:

This course surveys sculpture, painting, and architecture from ancient Greece from the end of the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic period. In addition to close study of the major works, we pay particular attention to their cultural context. Key issues include nudity in art and life; the origins and development of narrative; art and politics; the status and role of the artist; and fakes, forgeries, and the difficulties of archaeological inference. Wherever possible, newly discovered artifacts are given special attention. R. Neer. Winter.
