Elizabeth Marlowe: Shaky Ground : Context, Connoisseurship and the History of Roman Art
Description
The recent crisis in the world of antiquities collecting has prompted scholars and the general public to pay more attention than ever before to the archaeological findspots and collecting histories of ancient artworks. This new scrutiny is applied to works currently on the market as well as to those acquired since (and despite) the 1970 UNESCO Convention, which aimed to prevent the trafficking in cultural property. When it comes to famous works that have been in major museums for many generations, however, the matter of their origins is rarely considered. Canonical pieces like the Barberini Togatus or the Fonseca bust of a Flavian lady appear in many scholarly studies and virtually every textbook on Roman art. But we have no more certainty about these works' archaeological contexts than we do about those that surface on the market today. This book argues that the current legal and ethical debates over looting, ownership and cultural property have distracted us from the epistemological problems inherent in all (ostensibly) ancient artworks lacking a known findspot, problems that should be of great concern to those who seek to understand the past through its material remains.
The Valley rugby team is travelling to southern Queensland with their coach, Israel Folau. Will the boys' first trip be a great feat or a great failure? Both Daniel and Sione miss home, but finally the boys feel like they are training well. On arrival in Queensland, the Valley team play a match against some locals and get soundly beaten. The team, who believed they were destined for big things, come crashing back down to earth. Things no longer seem that sunny in the Sunshine state. Can Israel Folau show Daniel and Sione how to go back to basics and do the little things right? Their future as a team might depend on it. This sexy and exhilarating New Adult Romance can best be described as Cirque du Soleil meets the steamy, athletic romance of Center Stage. As the connection between Eden and Jack grows stronger, and their investigation brings them closer to David, Eden must come to terms with her true emotions, the secrets her mother has kept from her, and the painful question of whether her father, after all these years, Shaky Ground : Context, Connoisseurship and the History of Roman Art free download pdf even wants to be found. The result is an emotionally rich and honest novel about making peace with the past--and embracing the future.
