| Meer info | The sections of Pliny's Natural History that cover art history have traditionally been studied in isolation from the rest of the work and have been regarded as an `encyclopedic' source for Greek masters and masterpieces in particular. Sorcha Carey argues that only by studying these sections within the broader context of the Natural History can we explore Pliny's aims and concerns within the setting of Roman imperial politics and culture. This book explores, through Pliny and the Natural History , Roman attitudes towards art and their appropriation of the Greek past, highlighting the fact that this work was created within a profoundly Roman context. Individual chapters examine the overall aims of the encyclopedia, the relationship between art and nature expressed in the Natural History , and visual representation of Roman space: Augustus' trophy at La Turbia and Agrippa's map. |
