Description

Explore the complex relationship between classical antiquity and the arts with this scholarly volume from Bloomsbury. This book examines how the ancient world has been received and reinterpreted through performing and visual arts from the Renaissance to the twenty-first century. Readers will find a detailed look at the tensions surrounding gender, sexuality, eroticism, and power. These universal themes have historically shaped the plots and characters of myth and drama, while also influencing how historical figures, events, and locations from Classical history are portrayed. By studying these changing interpretations, you can see how artists have blended original ancient features with diverse visual styles to create lasting stereotypes and models of virtue or immoral conduct. This work is an essential resource for those studying the history of art, performance, and the long-lasting impact of classical themes on modern culture.
