Abstract

The project continues a long-term study of how the history of ancient Greek and Roman art has been written from antiquity through the present. One part examines the contexts and content of the ancient textual sources, questioning their accepted documentary value. The second examines the context of "lifelikeness" in ancient and modern accounts of the stylistic development of classical art.
