In particular, the main focus of this book is on the visionary experimentalism of antiquarian book production, especially in relation to the contentious nature of ancient texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the explosion of the Quarrel between the Ancients and the Moderns, eighteenth-century intellectuals, antiquarians, and artists such as Giambattista Vico, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, the Comte de Caylus, James Stuart, Julien-David Leroy, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, and Pierre-François Hugues d’Hancarville all became interested in how printed engravings of ancient art and archaeology could visualise a historical narrative. These figures theorised the relationship between ancient text and ancient material and visual culture—theorisations which would pave the way to foundational questions at the heart of the discipline of classical studies and neoclassical aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595686854892,"sku":"9781350407770","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350407770-antiquity-in-print.jpg?v=1777901930"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/daniel-orrells.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
