THE CLASSICAL WORLD:
FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART
March 14, 2008 through August 2009 - The Elaine and Thurman Gillespy, Jr. Gallery
The Classical World is a long-term loan exhibition of 200 plus rare Greek and Roman antiquities from the collection of the Tampa Museum of Art. Recognized as the finest collection of its kind in the southeastern United States, The Classical World surveys the material culture of the Mediterranean area from the Neolithic period to the Roman Imperial period, roughly 8500 BC to 476 AD.
Highlights of the MOAS installation include an elegant and rare marble head of the serene Athena, and a breathtaking marble torso of Aphrodite. MOAS Chief Curator, Cynthia Duval notes, 'In great part, my own fascination with the Tampa loan lies in the wide variety of ceramic vases, bowls and containers in the collection, once used in public ceremonies and private life. Illustrated with scenes of the everyday interspersed with famed figures of mythology, each piece tells a story that makes classical Greece come alive; figures from antiquity encircle, enhance and emphasize usage and focus on cultural beliefs."
These rare and beautiful objects combine to lead the visitor into an intimate vision of the culture, values, and rituals of the classical world, and above all, offer an all-absorbing appreciation of classical civilization and artistic creativity. The Classical World: From the Collection of the Tampa Museum of Art is an expansive display that speaks to everyone, appealing to all senses and tastes by encapsulating history, design and beauty through many different examples of creativity.
