About The Alexander Mosaic: Stories Of Victory And Defeat
Product Description The Alexander Mosaic: Stories of Victory and Defeat focuses on one of the richest, most complex and visually stunning monuments of classical antiquity. Contributing to a vast tradition of scholarship, which dates back to the discovery of the Mosaic in 1831, Ada Cohen here engages with, but departs from, a core of positivist assumptions that characterize this literature. In this study, she examines the Mosaic as it may have functioned in two different contexts, first as a Greek painting of the fourth century B.C., and then as a Roman mosaic of ca. 100 B.C. Review "Recommended for students/scholars of Greek and Roman art." Mary Sturgeon, Religious Studies Review Book Description A study of the richest, most complex and visually stunning monuments of classical antiquity.
