Pictorial Narrative in Ancient Greek Art (Cambridge Studies in Classical Art and Iconography)

Editorial Reviews Review "...insightful discussions of important pieces of Greek art." Religious Studies Review Book Description This book provides a comprehensive framework for the development of pictorial narrative in ancient art. Through the application of literary theory about narrative, particularly semiotics and structural analysis; the examination of ancient descriptions of real and poetic works of art; and a contextual examination of a wide range of works, Mark Stansbury-O'Donnell identifies the multiple levels at which narration operates, from the most basic signs to the object of narration for the ancient viewer. This study also defines and standardizes a vocabulary for pictorial narrative.
