Volume III
Reception of Classical Art, an Introduction
edited by D.C. Kurtz
Serendipity lies behind this modest publication. A series of lectures took place in the autumn of 2003 on The Reception of Classical Art designed to complement two options in the Master of Studies in Classical Archaeology. It was decided to publish the lectures as delivered, without footnotes, but with bibliographies specifically chosen for our students. The book is dedicated to "the first cohort of students in the undergraduate degree course in the History of Art, October 2004".
The book contains sections on: An introduction to the reception of classical art by Donna Kurtz, Beazley Archivist, Professor of Classical Art and editor. Nudity in art by Sir John Boardman, Lincoln Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art Emeritus. Medals and the reception of antiquity by Henry Kim, curator of Greek coins and modern medals at the Ashmolean Museum. Renaissance istoriato Maiolica by Kate Nichols, Research Assistant in the Beazley Archive. Neoclassical gems by Gertrud Seidmann, Honorary Research Associate of the Institute of Archaeology. The Sackler Library - ancient and modern by Robert Adam, Director of Robert Adam Associates and architect of the Sackler Library.
