Giacomo Barozzi was born on the 1st of October, 1507, in Vignola, near Modena, Italy. He was orphaned at an early age. His mother's family, seeing his talents, sent him to an art school in Bologna, where he distinguished himself in drawing and by the invention of a method of perspective. To perfect himself in his art he went to Eome, studying and measuring all the ancient monuments there. For this achievement he received the honors of the Academy of Architecture in Eome, then under the direction of Marcello Cervini, afterward Pope. In 1537 he went to France with Abbé Primaticcio, who was in the service of Francis I. Barozzi was presented to this magnificent monarch and received a commission to build a palace, which, however, on account of war, was not built. At this time he de- signed the plan and perspective of Fontainebleau castle, a room of which was decorated by Primaticcio. He also reproduced in metal, with his own hands, several antique statues. Called back to Bologna by Count Pepoli, president of St. Petronio, he was given charge of the construction of that cathedral until 1550. During this time he designed many GIACOMO BAROZZr OF VIGNOLA. 3 other buildings, among which we name the palace of Count Isolani in Minerbio, the porch and front of the custom house, and the completion of the locks of the canal to Bologna.

The building was demolished after the death of Peisistratos and the construction of a colossal new Temple of Olympian Zeus was begun around 520 BC by his sons, Hippias and Hipparchos. The work was abandoned when the tyranny was overthrown and Hippias was expelled in 510 BC. Only the platform and some elements of the columns had been completed by this point, and the temple remained in this state for 336 years.

  • The Natural History of a Caeretan Hydria
    BABESCH 91 (2016), 69-85. doi: 10.2143/BAB.91.0.3175644 The Natural History of a Caeretan Hydria John K. Papadopoulos Abstract One of the most extraordinary renderings of various sea creatures is the well-known and often-published Caere- tan hydria now in the Niarchos Collection. In contrast to the accurately rendered seal, which is rare in Greek art of all periods, octopus, and dolphins, the central creature that dominates the scene is usually considered as an imaginary sea monster, a ketos. The purpose of this paper is to suggest that the central creature is no sea monster, but a fairly accurate representation of one of the most elusive creatures of the sea: an oarfish, of the family Regalecidae.

  • Attic Pottery of the Later Fifth Century from the Athenian Agora
    ATTIC POTTERY OF THE LATER FIFTH CENTURY FROM THE ATHENIAN AGORA (PLATES 73-103) THE 1937 campaign of the American excavations in the Athenian Agora included work on the Kolonos Agoraios. One of the most interesting results was the discovery and clearing of a well 1 whose contents proved to be of considerable value for the study of Attic pottery. For this reason it has seemed desirable to present the material as a whole.2 The well is situated on the southern slopes of the Kolonos. The diameter of the shaft at the mouth is 1.14 metres; it was cleared to the bottom, 17.80 metres below the surface. The modern water-level is 11 metres down. I quote the description from the excavator's notebook: The well-shaft, unusually wide and rather well cut widens towards the bottom to a diameter of ca. 1.50 m. There were great quantities of pot- tery, mostly coarse; this pottery seems to be all of the same period . and joins In addition to the normal abbreviations for periodicals the following are used: A.B.C.

  • Applications of 3D Computer Graphics in Reconstructing the Lost Reality of the Temples of Ionia
    Journal of Naval Science and Engineering 2015, Vol. 11, No.3, pp. 26-42 DIGITAL CULTURAL HERITAGE: APPLICATIONS OF 3D COMPUTER GRAPHICS IN RECONSTRUCTING THE LOST REALITY OF THE TEMPLES OF IONIA Ahmet DENKER 1 Department of Electrical and Elektronics Engineering, Istanbul Bilgi University, Istanbul, Turkey [email protected] Abstract Reconstructions of the past with the advent of 3D computer graphics and high resolution rendering are increasingly produced and maintained in digital form, thus creating a legacy: Digital cultural heritage. Digital cultural heritage requires serious attention and is the subject of this paper. The reconstruction of the lost Ionic temples of the western shores of Aegean Sea is the main focus. The history of their construction, destruction and reconstruction loops are traced. The exceptional architects who had worked out the style and the principles of construction are looked into. Superstructures they created are studied with the aid of the accounts of the ancient writers, fragments in museums and surviving portions. Finally, their 3D reconstructions are realized so far as possible. Keywords : Digital cultural heritage; 3D computer graphics; reconstructing the lost reality, Ionic temples. 1. INTRODUCTION The cultural heritage which holds a significant part of the intellectual 26 Digital Cultural Heritage: Applications of 3D Computer Graphics in Reconstructing the Lost Reality of the Temples of Ionia wealth of our information society is under increasing threat of demolition. The threats of destruction stem not only from the natural causes, but even more so from local and international dissents and conflicts.

Dionysiac Imagery in Archaic Etruria by Dimitris Paleothodoros he emergence of Etruscan Dionysiac iconography was made possibLe by the adop - tion and imitation of prototypes found on imported Attic vases 1. The first TDionysiac images produced by Etruscan craftsmen date to 550 BC and are found on bLacK-figured vases by the Paris Painter, and the painters of the Ivy-Leaf and the La ToLfa Groups. Between the mid 6th and mid 5th centuries BC, Etruscan artists decorate aLmost 170 bLacK-figured and added-red vases with Dionysiac images, 13% of the totaL pro - duction of figured vases. 2 This group of images, suppLemented by other pieces of evidence, such as mirror engravings and bronze statuettes, forms the basis of the present study, which is the preLiminary report of a thorough investigation of Dionysus in archaic Etruria. In the recent past, schoLars have deveLoped the concept of “Dionysism without Dionysus,” to account for the paradox of the scarcity of Dionysus’ images in archaic Etruria, in contrast to the great popuLarity of images of his foLLowers, i.e.
