In the last years, the way an image was actually used has become more central to our understanding. The focus of this conference will be the iconography of Athenian vases found in Greek contexts. Iconography specialists and excavators alike will present fresh ideas and new material and discuss the interpretation in the light of the actual use of the image. By this confrontation of methodological and theoretical insights with actual finds, the conference aims to further the interpretation of the rich world of Greek imagery.
