Seminar in Ancient Art and Archaeology; Double Vision: The Ancient Copy in Context
Credits: 3
Grad Meth: Reg, Aud
This course explores the history, theory, and technology of the production and use of copies of ancient objects and buildings. Focus falls on works from Italy and Greece and considers equally copies produced in antiquity and replicas (exact and adapted) made for display in private collections, museums, and universities. Over the duration of the course, we will unpack the complex concept of the "copy," and interrogate points of intersection with "copy culture" in other art-historical periods.
