Tradition in Late Antique Sculpture Conservation, Modernization, Production

An examination of the reworking and reuse of marble sculpture in the late Roman period, a subject that has previously been neglected. Whilst repair and reuse of Antique sculpture has been common since the Renaissance - often for spurious reasons - Hannestad argues that well-known monuments like the Ara Pacis actually represent several working phases, with late Antiquity often setting the final stamp upon a monument, and he explores the implications of this on our understanding of the sculptural scenery of this period.Hannestad, Niels is the author of 'Tradition in Late Antique Sculpture Conservation, Modernization, Production', published 1994 under ISBN 9788772884424 and ISBN 8772884428.
