Prof. Milette Gaifman publishes new edited volume on relief in ancient art

The artistic category of relief has long dominated scholarly discussions of ancient Greco-Roman art for good reason: images in relief pervaded ancient visual culture from the rise of the Greek city-state through to the Christian era. In this important new volume of Yale Classical Studies, Milette Gaifman and her co-editors have assembled an international cast of contributors to address key questions about relief across the geographic and temporal scope of the ancient world, including how relief was conceptualized, what role materials and techniques played in its creation, and what the relations were between relief media and their effects on viewers.
