Smith.In this study Dr Smith investigates the use of political personifications in the visual arts of Athens in the Classical period (480-323 BCE). Whether on objects that served primarily private roles (e.g. decorated vases) or public roles (e.g. cult statues and document stelai), these personifications represented aspects of the state of Athens—its people, government, and events—as well as the virtues (e.g. Nemesis, Peitho or Persuasion, and Eirene or Peace) that underpinned it. Athenians used the same figural language to represent other places and their peoples. This is the only study that uses personifications as a lens through which to view the intellectual and political climate of Athens in the Classical period.Monumenta Graeca et Romana ;v. 19.Art, GreekGreeceAthensThemes, motivesArt, ClassicalGreeceAthensThemes, motivesPersonification in artArt and societyGreeceAthensAthens (Greece)Symbolic representationArt, GreekThemes, motives.Art, ClassicalThemes, motives.Personification in art.Art and society709.38/5Smith Amy Claire1966-1567422MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781477903321Polis and personification in classical Athenian art3838838UNINA
