Description

Seduction and Power explores how artists and performers from the Renaissance through the twenty-first century have drawn from antiquity to examine gender, sexuality, eroticism and power. This Bloomsbury Academic volume traces the reception and reinterpretation of Classical myth, drama, historical figures and events across centuries, revealing how ancient themes have been reimagined to reflect contemporary values and concerns. The book examines the tensions between original ancient sources and diverse visual interpretations, uncovering how these works have shaped enduring stereotypes and models of virtue or transgression. Perfect for students and scholars of art history, classical studies, performance theory and cultural reception, this comprehensive study demonstrates the profound influence of the ancient world on modern artistic expression and the complex ways we continue to engage with classical subjects today.
