Picturing Death in Classical Athens
The Evidence of the White Lekythoi
John H. Oakley

Cambridge Studies in Classical Art and Iconography
2004

Questo è il primo studio approfondito delle raffigurazioni rinvenute sulle lekythois bianche attiche. 
Questi vasi funerari, collocati all'interno e all'esterno delle tombe ateniesi, sono da tempo apprezzati per le loro splendide immagini policrome che evocano lo stile delle pitture murali e murali classiche perdute. 
Rappresentano la più importante fonte visiva per le usanze funerarie della Grecia classica e presentano una gamma limitata di soggetti, per lo più legati alla morte. 

Questo volume riccamente illustrato esamina attentamente le quattro principali tipologie di scene: raffigurazioni domestiche, i conduttori mitologici dell'anima, la prothesis (veglia funebre) e le visite alla tomba. Oltre all'analisi dello sviluppo iconografico di ciascuna tipologia, questo studio colloca queste raffigurazioni nel contesto storico, sociale, culturale, archeologico e letterario, documentando le relazioni tra i "riti di passaggio", la storia ateniese, la mutevole percezione della morte nell'Atene del V secolo, ed epigrammi e lamenti funerari.

Primo studio completo delle immagini su lekythois biancoSpiega le ragioni sociali, storiche e culturali per cui queste immagini furono scelte per queste navi.

Ottime condizioni, con sovraccoperta, legatura salda, pagine interne pulite.

Riccamente illustrato: 8 tavole a colori con 16 immagini e 175 illustrazioni in bianco e nero
