Product Information

English summary: How should I approach a work of art? What should I have to pay attention to if I gaze at a picture? What do I need to know in order to be able to fully appreciate and enjoy a painting? To these and similar questions, the Greek celebrity orator and art critic Philostratus (3rd cent. AD) gives answers in his Eikones, where he--according to the fiction of the text--interprets a number of panel paintings for the benefit of an audience of knowledge-hungry young people in a private museum on the Bay of Naples. In a commentary on six selected interpretations, the author explores the way in which he trains his audience to read paintings by way of insightful observations and fascinating rhetorical stratagems. The first interpretation deals with a depiction of a cultic ceremony in honour of the love goddess Aphrodite. The second focuses on a picture representing the fate of the chaste Hippolytus who is being dragged to death by his own team of horses. The murder of Cassandra, Trojan princess and concubine of Agamemnon, at the hands of the king's jealous wife Clytaemnestra is also among the paintings discussed, as is the wrestling match between the demigod Heracles and the giant Antaeus who, as the son of the earth, commands secret powers. The author also examines two interpretations where Poseidon, god of the deep sea, appears first powerfully wielding his trident, then kindly overlooking little Palaemon being rescued by a dolphin. The exceptional and enduring appeal of Philostratus' interpretations of paintings lies not merely in their charming and inventive explanations of individual paintings, but also in their engagement of the reader in the discovery of the effects of the visual arts on their observers, both ancient and modern. German description: Wie nahere ich mich einem Kunstwerk? Worauf muss ich achten, wenn ich ein Bild betrachte? Was muss ich wissen, um ein Gemalde verstehen und genieaen zu konnen? Auf diese und weitere Fragen gibt der griechische Konzertredner und Kunstkritiker Philostrat in der ersten Halfte des 3. Jh. n.Chr. in seinen Eikones ("Bildern") eine Antwort, indem er - so die Fiktion des Textes - in einem Privatmuseum am Golf von Neapel eine Reihe von Tafelgemalden vor einem Kreis wissensdurstiger junger Leute exemplarisch interpretiert. Seine intelligenten Beobachtungen sowie die faszinierenden rhetorischen Einfalle, mit denen er seine Zuhorerschaft zur Kunstrezeption anleitet, werden in diesem Band in einem Kommentar zu sechs seiner Bildinterpretationen herausgearbeitet. Als erstes geht es um die Darstellung einer kultischen Zeremonie zu Ehren der Liebesgottin Aphrodite. Das zweite Bild behandelt den Unfalltod des keuschen Hippolytos, der von seinen eigenen Pferden zerrissen wird. Es folgen die Ermordung der trojanischen Prinzessin Kassandra durch die eifersuchtige Ehefrau des Griechenfursten Agamemnon sowie der Ringkampf zwischen dem Halbgott Herakles und dem Giganten Antaios, der als Sohn der Erde uber geheime Krafte verfugt. Untersucht werden auch zwei Bildinterpretationen Philostrats, bei denen der Meeresgott Poseidon auftritt, einmal gewaltig mit dem Dreizack ausholend, das andere Mal die Rettung des kleinen Palaimon durch einen Delphin gutig begleitend. Der auaergewohnliche Reiz von Philostrats Bildinterpretationen besteht darin, dass sie eine Wirkung weit uber das Verstandnis des Einzelbildes hinaus entfalten und dem Leser auf hochst unterhaltsame Weise einen Blick auf Wesen und Wirken der darstellenden Kunst - und nicht nur der antiken! - erlauben.

Reviews
"Wenn man die Welt als Gemalde betrachtet certainly does perform a useful service: in walking readers through six Philostratean tableaux, Bachmann proves a meticulous and methodical guide, especially when it comes to matters of literary allusion. The inevitable difficulty, however, is that Bachmann's 'Studien' must invite comparison with Philostratus' own acts of commentary and explication. As with most (arguably all) classical scholars, the analogy does Philostratus' modern-day counterparts few favours: in as much as this volume teases out the creative brilliance of the Imagines, it does so through its shortcomings as well as through its strengths." Michael Squire, sehepunkte 16 (2016), Nr. 4 "Die Lekture von Bachmanns Kommentar lohnt sich. Dabei sollte man sich (...) mit offenem Geist der ebenso vergnuglichen wie anregenden Auseinandersetzung mit Bachmanns gelungenen Textinterpretationen widmen." Mario Baumann, Anzeiger fur die Altertumswissenschaft LXVIII (2015), 1./2. Heft, S. 4-9

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

The seller is one of the best there is - high quality books, reasonable prices, securely packaged. I do, however, recommend some changes to their shipping - they show a shipper (SortHub) on eBay, but the tracking # they email is for a different carrier. It’s difficult to know where my purchase is. This time, it was delivered a week late. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal. But it shouldn’t be this difficult to accurately track my purchase.
