Roman art in the private sphere : new perspectives on the architecture and decor of the domus, villa and insula / edited by Elaine K. Gazda ; assisted by Anne E. Haeckl

Colaborador(es): Gazda, Elaine K [editor literario] | Haeckl, Anne E [editor literario]Tipo de material: TextoTextoDetalles de publicación: Ann Arbor : University of Michigan Press, 1994 Descripción: 156 p. : [32] p. de làm. ; 26 cmISBN: 0-472-08314-7Tema(s): Arte romano | Decoración interior -- Roma | Decoración y ornamentación arquitectónicas -- RomaResumen: Roman Art in the Private Sphere presents an impressive case for the social and art historical importance of the paintings, mosaics, and sculptures that filled the private houses of the Roman elite. The six essays in this volume range from the first century B.C.E. to the fourth century C.E., and from the Italian peninsula to the Eastern Empire and North African provinces.The essays treat works of art that belonged to every major Roman housing type: the single-family atrium houses and the insula apartment blocks in Italian cities, the dramatically sited villas of the Campanian coast and countryside, and the palatial mansions of late antique provincial aristocrats.In a complementary fashion the essays consider domestic art in relation to questions of decorum, status, wealth, social privilege, and obligation. Patrons emerge as actively interested in the character of their surroundings; artists appear as responsive to the desire of their patrons. The evidence in private art of homosexual conduct in high society is also set forth.Originality of subject matter, sophisticated appreciation of stylistic and compositional nuance, and philosophical perceptions of the relationship of humanity and nature are among the themes that the essays explore. Together they demonstrate that Roman domestic art must be viewed on its own terms.
