'pHIS Price-list is issued to meet the desire frequently expressed for a Catalogue of reproductions in plaster, of ancient, mediaeval, and Renaissance works of art, obtainable at home, to the saving both of time and the costs of transportation from Europe, together with the repair of damages sustained on the way, Custom-house fees, and other charges. It embraces all the more import- ant masterpieces, exclusive of the largest in size, now on exhibition in this Museum, together with a few hitherto unseen from lack of space; and the selection has been made in anticipation of such as would be most naturally wanted. It does not repeat all the particulars descriptive of the subjects, such as, Names of Authors, Material of original Object, Locality of ancient Exposition or Dis- covery in recent years, and Place of Exhibition in Euro- pean Museums to-day, on account of the limitation of length: all these items will be found in Hand-book No. 7, published by this Museum, to which the present arrange- ment and enumeration conform. In harmony with the aim of this Museum to create a larger interest and to cultivate a truer taste in aesthetic and artistic subjects, the prices of the casts here offered have, in every instance, been placed below those quoted by foreign makers. ( 8) 4 NOTE. It should be plainly understood, however, that these prices do not cover the expenses of cases and packing for shipment, which will be additional, yet not exceeding the value of material and labor.

  • Funeral Monuments in Macedonia During the Archaic and Classical
    Funeral monuments in Macedonia during the Archaic and Classical periods. Afroditi Douitsi SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts (MA) in the Classical Archaeology and the Ancient History of Macedonia January 2017 Thessaloniki – Greece Student Name: Afroditi Douitsi SID: 2204150011 Supervisor: Prof. Eleni Manakidou I hereby declare that the work submitted is mine and that where I have made use of another’s work, I have attributed the source(s) according to the Regulations set in the Student’s Handbook. January 2017 Thessaloniki - Greece Abstract This dissertation was written as part of the MA in in the Classical Archaeology and the Ancient History of Macedonia at the International Hellenic University. The boundaries of Macedonia were extending to the Pierian mountains, the Big Prespa lake and mountain Dysoron during the periods under consideration while the most known cemeteries in Macedonia were those of Aigai, Pella, Amphipolis, Pydna and Aiane. We could encounter grave types such as pit, cist, sarcophagi and jar burials while the basic burial practices were the inhumation and the cremation. Factors such as the origins of the inhabitants in the cities under examination or the gender and the social status of the deceased played major role to the style and the iconography of the funeral monuments respectively. The grave markers could be divided into figured representa- tions and architectural remains. In the first category the major part constitute the tomb- stones mainly subdivided in painted and relief grave “stelai”. A further categorization could be made according to typological elements such as the type of the crowning (pedimental, palmette), the framing of the shaft and the placement of the figure scene in a recessed panel.

  • Time and Religion in Hellenistic Athens: an Interpretation of the Little Metropolis Frieze
    Time and Religion in Hellenistic Athens: An Interpretation of the Little Metropolis Frieze. Monica Haysom School of History, Classics and Archaeology Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Newcastle University, November 2015. ABSTRACT Two stones that form a part of the spolia on the Little Metropolis church (Aghios Eleutherios) in central Athens consist of a frieze depicting a calendar year. The thesis begins with a Preface that discusses the theoretical approaches used. An Introduction follows which, for reference, presents the 41 images on the frieze using the 1932 interpretation of Ludwig Deubner. After evaluating previous studies in Chapter 1, the thesis then presents an exploration of the cultural aspects of time in ancient Greece (Chapter 2). A new analysis of the frieze, based on ancient astronomy, dates the frieze to the late Hellenistic period (Chapter 3); a broad study of Hellenistic calendars identifies it as Macedonian (Chapter 4), and suggests its original location and sponsor (Chapter 5). The thesis presents an interpretation of the frieze that brings the conclusions of these chapters together, developing an argument that includes the art, religion and philosophy of Athenian society contemporary with the construction of the frieze. Given the date, the Macedonian connection and the link with an educational establishment, the final Chapter 6 presents an interpretation based not on the addition of individual images but on the frieze subject matter as a whole. This chapter shows that understanding the frieze is dependent on a number of aspects of the world of artistic connoisseurship in an elite, educated audience of the late Hellenistic period.

  • Three Women Sharing a Mantle in 6Th Century BCE Greek Vase-Painting: Plurality, Unity, Family, and Social Bond
    arts Article Three Women Sharing a Mantle in 6th Century BCE Greek Vase-Painting: Plurality, Unity, Family, and Social Bond Valérie Toillon Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques, Université de Montréal, Montréal, QC H3T 1J4, Canada; [email protected] Received: 30 May 2019; Accepted: 22 October 2019; Published: 25 October 2019 Abstract: The motif of three women sharing the same mantle is pictured on about a dozen vases dating from the first half of the sixth century BCE. Among these vases, the so-called “François Vase” and a dinos signed by Sophilos (now in London, British Museum) are of particular interest. The wedding of Thetis and Peleus is pictured on both vases. This theme is well-adapted to the representation of a procession of deities in which the Charites, Horai, Moirai, and Muses take part. The main feature of these deities is a shared mantle, which covers and assembles them, emphasizing that these deities are plural by definition. The main study on this iconographical theme remains that by Buchholz, who documented most of the depictions of the “shared-mantle” in ancient Greek vase-painting and small terracottas. The shared-mantle motif has been interpreted successively as a reference to the sacred peplos (in relation to the wedding), a simplification from the painter to avoid painting all the mantles, a sign of emotional/sexual union, a religious gesture, and a depiction of choruses. The present study aims to consider in more detail the “shared-mantle” as an iconographic sign that involves the idea of community, shared identity, and emotional bond.
