Jennifer Casler Price, curator of Asian, African, and Ancient American Art
The ancient Greeks produced remarkable monuments of architecture, sculpture, and painting: majestic temples dedicated to the gods, masterpieces of classical sculpture, and a rich tradition of pictorial narrative art in the form of Attic vase painting. Since antiquity, their achievements in art and architecture have elicited great admiration and continue to fascinate visitors to Greece, from the fabled palace of King Minos at Knossos, on Crete, to Agamemnon’s imposing walled city of Mycenae, to the majestic Parthenon and the other temples on the Acropolis in Athens, to astonishingly lifelike statues of bronze and marble and superbly painted vases renowned for their elegance. In her lecture, Casler Price will trace the Greeks’ lasting contributions in the visual arts from the third millennium to the first century BC, placing them in a historical and cultural context.
