Classical Ceramography, Production and Iconography

The course aims to refine students' critical ability and stylistic sensitivity in reading Greek ceramics, which represent the main dating tool for archaeological contexts and for decoding cultural meanings.

Knowledge and understanding: At the end of the course students are expected to be able to orient themselves on the main productions and styles of figured Greek pottery, with particular reference to those ceramic classes not addressed in the basic course of Archeology and History of Greek Art, therefore Corinthian, Laconian, East Greek, Cycladic pottery etc.
Applying knowledge and understanding: Students are also expected to have acquired a good level of understanding and decoding iconography and to be introduced into the most crucial criteria for identifying painters and workshops.
