Résumé:

"_The Ancient Art of Emulation_ examines how we have come to value originality over emulation, originals over copies, and authentic over restored works, and how these values have entered into our assessments of Roman art. It also seeks to uncover what the Romans thought about 'copies', what they admired and valued in visual art. In doing so, it studies the range of Roman audience reactions to 'copies' and other retrospective creations. Finally, the book presents several case studies (of sculptures and paintings) that employ a variety of analytical strategies--historiographic, spatial, sociohistorical, functional, gender-based, iconographic, typological, and archaeological--to get at the function and meaning of Roman imagery created in the classical traadition."--From Front Cover
