In particular, the main focus of this book is on the visionary experimentalism of antiquarian book production, especially in relation to the contentious nature of ancient texts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With the explosion of the Quarrel between the Ancients and the Moderns, eighteenth-century intellectuals, antiquarians and artists such as Giambattista Vico, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, the Comte de Caylus, James Stuart, Julien-David Leroy, Giovanni Battista Piranesi and Pierre-Francois Hugues d'Hancarville all became interested in how printed engravings of ancient art and archaeology could visualize a historical narrative. These figures theorized the relationship between ancient text and ancient material and visual culture - theorizations which would pave the way to foundational questions at the heart of the discipline of classical studies and neoclassical aesthetics.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46636903563422,"sku":"UBD-9781350407770","price":49.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350407770.jpg?v=1774399347","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350407770","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
