Learning Objectives
The course aims to provide a general history of Greek and Roman funerary wall paintings, from the Archaic period till the Imperial age.
Program
Painting is a primary archaeological and historical-artistic source for the knowledge of the ancient world. Through a diachronic and significant selection of Greek and Roman funerary contexts, introduced through outlines of relevant historical studies on the topic, will be discussed technical and material questions of ancient wall paintings, iconographies and meanings of the theme, chronological proposals, social and artistic values of the monuments by considering them in their own historical and cultural horizon.
