Description

Explore a unique perspective on Hellenistic and Roman art with The Grotesque Body in Graeco-Roman Antiquity. This scholarly work examines figurines with distorted appearances that were highly popular during these historical periods. While many archaeologists suggest these images served to lampoon or degrade the physically deformed and the lower classes, this book presents a different argument. It explores how these statuettes may have actually carried deeply positive meanings. Part of the Image & Context series, this text offers a fresh look at the functions and social roles of unconventional imagery in the ancient world.

The text provides an alternative argument to traditional archaeological theories regarding ancient statuettes.
