The investigation of late antique statuary lies at the intersection of various scholarly disciplines studying the ancient world. Late-antique statues are an example of a slowly dying genre, i.e. sculpture in the round, to which particular importance is attached, perhaps precisely because fewer and fewer such statues were being made.

The investigation of late antique statuary lies at the intersection of various scholarly disciplines studying the ancient world. Late-antique statues are an example of a slowly dying genre, i.e. sculpture in the round, to which particular importance is attached, perhaps precisely because fewer and fewer such statues were being made. Statues set up in public are an important index of the continuity of civic practices in Late Antiquity; statues in the private sphere demonstrate the longevity of classical mythological themes during the transition to the Middle Ages. The intellectual quality of inscriptions on statue bases confirms the general picture of an elite that rejoiced in education, while the mutilation and destruction of portraits simultaneously attest to a fear of statues.
These are only a few aspects of the significance and differing understandings of statuary in Late Antiquity that are discussed by archaeologists, historians, and art historians in this volume. In the process, questions not just of the chronology of statues and the formation of statue-collections, but also of contextualization in both the private and the public spheres are addressed. Particular attention is paid to the reasons for the end of the production of statues, and to the question of which forms of representation took their place.

Rezensionen
"Abschliessend ein mit Bewunderung verbundener Dank an die Hg.: Seit Jahren sah man keinen Sammelband derartig sorgfältig redigiert, typographisch durchdacht und mit gleich hilfreichen Indices erschlossen."

In: Museum Helveticum. (2009). S. 165-166.

------------------------------------

"Dem Tagungsband ist es gelungen, Beiträge vereint zu haben, welche die spätantike Plastik in sehr unterschiedlichen Bereichen problematisieren und mit ihren Thesen zu weiteren Diskussionen über das noch längst nicht erschöpfte Thema anregen werden."

In: Klio. 91 (2009) 1. S. 261-263.

------------------------------------

"(...) These are merely the responses of one reader to this stimulating volume, which is simultaneously capable of serving as an up-to-date introduction to the field, as a major contribution to the same, and finally as a spur to further reflection. The editors are to be applauded for soliciting such a coherent collection of studies, the authors for responding to the challenge and to each other's arguments. Specialists in the field of late antique sculpture will want to read Statuen in der Spätantike from cover to cover, while anyone with an interest in late antique and early Byzantine culture and society will find much food for thought within its pages."
