*Vases grecs. Les Athéniens et leur images* is an art-historical study focused on Athenian painted pottery and the visual culture preserved on Greek vases. It examines how images on vases reflect Athenian social life, myth, ritual, gender roles, and civic identity, using the vessels themselves as evidence for how ancient viewers understood and represented their world. The book treats Greek vase painting not simply as decoration, but as a rich visual source for the study of classical antiquity. Through close attention to iconography, composition, and context, it explores the relationship between painted scenes and the culture that produced them. Its emphasis on Athenian imagery makes it especially relevant for readers interested in ancient art, archaeology, and the ways material culture can illuminate the values and practices of classical Greece.
