The Art of Reading an Ancient Greek Vase
Wednesday, July 1st
Join faculty from Washington University's Department of Classics in Arts & Sciences for an online conversation on key works from the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum’s collection of ancient Greek vases. The discussion will delve into how to make meaning of the featured iconography, forms, and style of these historical objects. “Reading” such vessels as the Nolan amphora by the Hermonax Painter and a Siana cup by the C Painter allows their rich content to come to life. By the end of the hour, we hope you will be inspired to enter into your own exploration of classical vase collections—at the Kemper Art Museum and beyond—with an eye attuned to myth, history, and beauty.
Panelists Timothy J. Moore, John and Penelope Biggs Distinguished Professor of Classics, and Susan Rotroff, Jarvis Thurston and Mona Van Duyn Professor Emerita, will be joined by moderator Grizelda (Zellie) McClelland, assistant dean in the College of Arts & Sciences and lecturer in the Department of Classics.
