Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book invites readers on a historical journey through the production of ancient Greek terracotta figurines, a medium through which artisans captured everyday moments and religious practices. The author traces their evolution over the course of three centuries, from the 7th to the 4th century BCE, demonstrating how these figurines were not merely decorative objects but also reflections of the societal and spiritual beliefs of the time. Through meticulous analysis of thousands of these figurines, the author uncovers the evolution of religious practices, the prominence of goddesses and their association with fertility and motherhood, and the growing influence of the cult of Dionysus. The book also highlights the technical advancements in terracotta production, including the use of molds and the introduction of paint, which allowed for greater detail and artistic expression. Ultimately, this book is a testament to the power of these humble figurines, which offer valuable insights into the lives, beliefs, and artistic sensibilities of the ancient Greeks.
