Reception of Classical Art, an Introduction

Studies in Classical Archaeology III

This volume is the third in the Beazley Archive (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford) series of "Studies in Classical Archaeology". It is based on a group of lectures given in 2003, and now intended as a "handbook" for the undergraduate degree course in the History of Art. The seven chapters include: The Study of art at Oxford before 1955 (Donna Kurtz); An introduction to the reception of classical art (Donna Kurtz); Nudity in Art (John Boardman); Medals and the reception of antiquity (Henry Kim); Renaissance "istoriato" maiolica (Kate Nichols); The reception of classical art - neoclassical gems (Gertrud Seidmann); The Sackler Library: ancient and modern (Robert Adam).
