“…Several publications have looked at the history of Greek art (including vases, coins, and architecture) through collecting practices and discoveries, naturally tied to early travel, excavations, and historical circumstances (e.g. Silvestrelli 2017;Adornato, Cirucci and Cupperi 2020;Weisser 2020;Boschung et al 2022). Not to be missed is the edited volume on Winckelmann coinciding with an exhibition at Oxford to commemorate -300 years onhis lasting mark (for better or worse) on the study of Greek art (Neagu, Harloe and Smith 2018).…”

This review essay focuses on recent developments and trends in the study of ancient Greek art. The publications covered date primarily to the period beginning in 2017–2018, though selected earlier works have been included where considered to be of particular merit or importance. Examples have been chosen to span and represent the long Archaic to Hellenistic phases (eighth–first century BC), and a full range of artistic categories and media have been featured in the discussions. In order to structure the large quantity of bibliography available, the presentation is divided into several broad categories according to themes (e.g. sites, reports, guides; exhibitions, conferences, Festschriften) or materials (e.g. sculpture and terracottas; metals, coins, gems, and jewellery). Where possible, digital resources applicable to the discipline have also been mentioned and cited. By way of conclusion, some general observations are made about the subjects of Greek art that seem not only to be the most prevalent in recent scholarship, but also transcend artistic medium, style, and scale – among them the body and adornment, senses and emotion, aesthetics and beauty, religion and performance, and archaeological contexts and intercultural connections.

Purchased in Rome during the winter of 1847-1848, the pointed amphora by the Achilles Painter is one of the centerpieces of the Duke of Luynes’ collection of Greek vases held at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF). The rarity of its shape and the virtuosity of its decoration make it one of the greatest masterpieces of this Athenian vase painter active in the middle decades of the 5th century BC. However, scholars soon noticed the extent of its 19th-century illusionistic restoration.The renovation of the BnF museum provided the opportunity to resume the study and envision the conservation treatment of this vase. Under the supervision of a scientific committee, a preliminary investigation conducted at the Centre de recherche et de restauration des musées de France (C2RMF) led to the decision to undertake a major conservation treatment. The intervention aimed to highlight this masterpiece of Greek vase-painting, facilitate the understanding of the shape of this incomplete amphora and preserve a testimony of 19th-century restoration practices.
