This beautifully illustrated book offers a wide-ranging overview of the greatest archaeological sites and discoveries from ancient Greece. The contributors--a veritable who's who of the most venerable names in Greek archaeology--include both those who have excavated at the sites in question and scholars who have spent a lifetime studying the monuments about which they write. Presented here are the legendary sites of ancient Greece, including the Athenian Acropolis, Olympia, Delphi, Schliemann's Mycenae, and the Athenian Agora; the most iconic sculptures in the Greek world, such as the Aphrodite of Melos and the Nike of Samothrace; and several fascinating chapters on underwater archaeology discussing the Kyrenia and Uluburun shipwrecks and the astonishing bronze masterpieces raised from the sea. This is the first book to bring together the archaeological legacy of ancient Greece in a concise and accessible way while still preserving the excitement of discovery.

In the spring of 1820, on the Aegean island of Melos, an unsuspecting farmer was digging for marble building blocks when he unearthed the statue that would come to be known as the Venus de Milo. From the moment of its discovery a battle for possession ensued and was won, eventually, by the French. Touted by her keepers in the Louvre as the great classical find of the era, the sculpture gained instant celebrity–and yet its origins had yet to be documented or verified. From the flurry of excitement surrounding her discovery, to the raging disputes over her authenticity, to the politics and personalities that have given rise to her mystique, Gregory Curtis has given us a riveting look at the embattled legacy of a beloved icon and a remarkable tribute to one of the world’s great works of art.

The Handbook of Greek Sculpture aims to provide a detailed examination of current research and directions in the field. Bringing together an international cast of contributors from Greece, Italy, France, Great Britain, Germany, and the United States, the volume incorporates new areas of research, such as the sculptures of Messene and Macedonia, sculpture in Roman Greece, and the contribution of Greek sculptors in Rome, as well as important aspects of Greek sculpture like techniques and patronage. The written sources (literary and epigraphical) are explored in dedicated chapters, as are function and iconography and the reception of Greek sculpture in modern Europe. Inspired by recent exhibitions on Lysippos and Praxiteles,the book also revisits the style and the personal contributions of the great masters.

Liberating Hellenism from the Ottoman Empire explores two key historical episodes that have generally escaped the notice of modern Greece, the Near East, and their observers alike. In the midst of the highly charged context of West-East confrontation and with fundamental cultural and political issues at stake, these episodes prove to be exciting and important platforms from which to reexamine the age-old conflict. This book reaches beyond the standard sources to dig into the archives for important events that have fallen through the cracks of the study of emerging modern Greece and the Ottoman Empire. These events, in which French travel writing, literary fiction, antiquarianism, and nineteenth-century western and eastern geopolitics merge, invite us to redraw the outlines of mutually dependent Hellenism and Orientalism.

L'invention de La Vénus de Milo. Comment un marbre antique découvert par hasard dans le champ d'un paysan grec, brisé en deux morceaux de surcroît, est devenu l'un des symboles majeurs de l'art occidental, voilà l'enjeu de cette enquête menée tambour battant. Au printemps 1820, il y avait foule dans la petite île cycladique de Milo : Olivier Voutier, aspirant de la Marine française nostalgique de l'empereur, fut le premier à dessiner le fascinant visage de la statue, à qui il donna les traits de la femme de ses rêves, épouse du consul local. Dumont d'Urville, le futur explorateur de l'Océanie, n'eut aucun scrupule à s'attribuer la paternité du croquis et de la découverte du marbre, tant il rêvait d'en faire hommage à son roi Louis XVIII. C'était sans compter avec le comte de Marcellus, le futur secrétaire de Chateaubriand, alors en poste à l'ambassade de Constantinople. Les notables locaux ne restèrent pas inactifs, et moins encore les pilleurs d'antiques ottomans. Au cœur de ces rebondissements sentimentaux, politiques et diplomatiques, s'inscrit pourtant la question principale : celle de l'identité de la statue. Que Voutier se soit écrié " ma Vénus ", devant la pureté et le mystère de ses traits ne constitue en rien une preuve... et jamais on ne retrouva la main gauche censée tenir la pomme de discorde, attribut de la déesse de l'amour ! Takis Théodoropoulos, dont l'iconoclaste ironie n'épargne aucun des acteurs impliqués dans cette affaire, montre ici avec brio que la Vénus de Milo fut l'invention paradoxale que tout le monde attendait. Produit d'une sensibilité néoclassique alors en vogue, elle contribua à renforcer les valeurs dont nous sommes encore les héritiers, à l'heure où triomphe la culture des musées.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana} Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863) was one of the towering figures to emerge in France in the wake of Napoleon. No other artist of the nineteenth century balanced a reverence for the past with such a strong ambition and spirit of innovation. Distinguishing himself from many other talented young artists in Paris, he gained renown in the 1820s for his novel subject matter, theatrical sense of composition, vibrant palette, and vigorous painterly technique. His vast production—including some eight hundred paintings, prints in a variety of media, and thousands of drawings and pages of writing—won the admiration of countless writers and artists, including Charles Baudelaire, Paul Cèzanne, and Pablo Picasso. This comprehensive monograph closely examines the full breadth of Delacroix’s career, including his engagement with the work of his predecessors, his fascination with the natural world, his interest in Lord Byron and the Greek War of Independence, and the profound influence of his voyage to North Africa in 1832. It brings to life his relationships with his contemporaries, ranging from the painters Pierre Narcisse Guèrin and Antoine Jean Gros to Gustave Courbet, as well as his exploration of literary, historical, and biblical themes, his writing in personal journals, and his triumphant exhibition at the Exposition Universelle of 1855. Richly illustrated and encompassing the entire range and diversity of his art, from grand paintings to intimate drawings, Delacroix illuminates how this intrepid figure changed the course of European painting by heeding “a call for the liberty of art.”

Elle a beau rester de marbre, sa vie est celle d’un personnage de roman aux mille rebondissements. Depuis son improbable découverte en 1820 par un paysan grec et un marin français en escale dans une île des Cyclades, Milo, la Vénus fascine. Elle a engendré toutes les convoitises. Symbole de la renaissance du Louvre après la défaite de Napoléon, elle a été au cœur de la compétition artistique entre grandes puissances. Mise à l’abri pendant la guerre de 1870, elle a échappé in extremis aux incendies de la Commune de Paris et survécu à deux exodes riches en péripéties pendant les conflits mondiaux. Le chef-d’œuvre a enfin inspiré les plus grands artistes depuis 200 ans. Delacroix, Gautier, Rodin, Dali, Niki de Saint Phalle... Tous ceux qui ont croisé sa route ont été envoûtés par son charme mystérieux, autant que par l’énigme de sa création. Candice Nedelec nous propose d’embarquer pour l’inédite odyssée de celle qui est devenue une véritable icône. Auteure : Candice Nedelec est chef du service politique du magazine Gala. Elle est l’auteure de plusieurs livres, dont Parce qu’elles viennent de loin (Fayard, 2019), Bernadette et Jacques (Stock, 2015) ou encore Les Macron (Fayard, 2017), coécrit avec Caroline Derrien. Elle a collaboré pour ce projet avec Ludovic Laugier, conservateur du patrimoine au département des antiquités grecques, étrusques et romaines du musée du Louvre.
