Recenzii
"In fact, the book, at just 120 pages. would make an excellent introductory text for undergraduate students of either ancient or modern sculpture; the accounts of Thorvaldsen's sculptures in the course of their appearence in the frieze, in Chapter Two, make a good introduction to the sculptor's work, and Chapters One and Three include useful accounts of a number of important ancient sculptures that relate in some way to the imagery of the frieze. More importantly, the book presents a rich and nuanced example of reception study, a critical method that has gained ground rapidly in Classics in recent years ... Henderson's study of the Copenhagen frieze thus takes its place as one of the most thoughtful and detailed reception studies yet to appear in art history ..." - Elizabeth Prettejohn, Art History Vol. 29, Nov 2006
"H.'s [John Henderson's] approach is, as ever, a playful one. ... Essentially this book allows us to visit the museum and walk around the frieze with H. as a companion, constantly pointing things out, sharing juicy titbits and making bad jokes. This proves to be enormous fun. More importantly, what we learn goes beyond this one artwork and we take away new insights into museums, triumphal parades and the way the modern world has used antiquity in the construction of national identity." - Katharine Edgar, Journal of Hellenic Studies 128, 2008
