The Nile on eBay FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE La sculpture de Thasos. Corpus des reliefs II by B. Holtzmann Les héros – ces mortels dont les Grecs perpétuaient par un culte lapersonnalité exceptionnelle – étaient particulièrement en honneur àThasos: on y célébrait tous les ans la fête, inconnue par ailleurs, desHèroxénia. Cela explique le grand nombre de reliefs à sujet héroïquequ'on a découverts à Thasos depuis le milieu du XIXe siècle. Le présentvolume en rassemble plus de deux cents, inégalement répartis entre deuxthèmes: le cavalier et surtout le banqueteur, tous deux d'originearistocratique. Mieux que dans toute autre cité, on peut suivre à Thasosl'évolution de ces thèmes pendant huit siècles. Jusqu'à l'époquehellénistique, ces reliefs sont votifs: rares et ambitieux, ils sontl'oeuvre de bons sculpteurs. Le grand relief à banquet d'Istanbul est undes chefs d'oeuvre du genre, probablement issu du même milieu artistiqueque le peintre Polygnote qui, au même moment, donne ses lettres denoblesse à la peinture murale. Depuis la fin du IVe siècle, labanalisation de l'héroïsation, progressivement étendue au commun desmortels, fait passer ces reliefs du votif au funéraire, au prix deremaniements dans leur morphologie et leur composition. Pour lecavalier, le succès tardif du chasseur de sanglier est lié à l'essor, enGrèce du Nord et dans les Balkans, du culte d'Hèrôn/s, dieu thracefacilement assimilé au héros grec. Quant au banquet, dépouillé de sesaccessoires, ce n'est plus qu'un tableau de famille, ressassé par desateliers d'art funéraire au savoir-faire limité. Theheroes – mortals whom the Greeks worshiped in order to perpetuate theirstrong personnality – took pride of place in Thasos: every year the citycelebrated the feast, otherwise unknown, of Heroxenia. Thisexplains the large number of heroic reliefs that have been discovered inThasos since the mid-nineteenth century. This volume brings togetherover two hundred reliefs, unevenly divided between two themes: therider, and more importantly, the banqueter, both of aristocratic origin.In Thasos, the evolution of these themes can be followed more closelythan in any other city, over eight centuries. Until the Hellenisticperiod, these reliefs are votives: rare and ambitious, they are the workof very skilled sculptors. The famous banquet relief from Thasos at theMuseum of Istanbul is one of the masterpieces of its kind, probably fromthe same artistic background as the painter Polygnotos of Thasos, famousfor his mural compositions. From the end of the fourth century, thespread of heroisation, progressively extended to the common people, seesthese reliefs move from votive to funerary, at the cost of changes totheir morphology and composition. For the rider, the late success of theboar hunter is linked to the rise, in northern Greece and the Balkans,of the cult of Heron/s, a Thracian god who can be easily assimilatedwith the greek hero. As for the banquet, stripped of its accessories, itbecomes no more than a family scene, produced by workshops of funeraryart with limited skills.

  1. Good seller despite the negative feedback that I read. Communication has been excellent, seller has been responding professionally. The seller gave me a delivery date and the book arrived on time as promised. Book came in excellent mint condition. My only criticism would be that the seller should mention in the description that they do not keep the books in stock and have to order them in. This gives the buyer expectations that they have to wait a little longer to receive their book.

  2. (For Ebay) The quality value and Appearance and Condition was as I would expect with a new item. Well packed it arrived safely. Though there were difficulties with the collection point not generating a code as they ought to, but we did not know that was the cause the seller kept up good communications and was sympathetic to the situation. Though ebay perhaps info could have been more informative on the cause of the problem. All was sorted out in the event.

  3. Fantastic seller. Everything as described, book was in new condition, and was amazing value! Dispatch was really quick, and so was delivery, it arrived so much faster than I was expecting! Tracking was a bit broken, but not the seller's fault and I only mention in case others have similar issues. My package arrived no issues. I couldn't be happier as this book has proved very difficult to get my hands on at an affordable price, thank you so much!
