This book argues for the integral role of framing within Graeco-Roman art, as well as exploring the relationship between the frames of classical antiquity and those of more modern art and aesthetics. It is aimed at students and scholars of art history, aesthetics, visual studies and classics, as well as cultural and intellectual history.
This book reveals how 'marginal' aspects of Graeco-Roman art play a fundamental role in shaping and interrogating ancient and modern visual culture.
