Qu'est-ce que la représentation honorifique? À partir de cette simplequestion, cet ouvrage analyse la pratique qui consiste à offrir auxbienfaiteurs un monument à leur image. Tout à la fois historique, matérielle et iconographique, l'étude met en lumière les facettesvariées de ce genre panhellénique, qui est autant un signe de vitalitédes institutions démocratiques qu'un instrument de prestige social.Héritée des pratiques de l'aristocratie archaïque, la représentationhonorifique brosse en effet le portrait de la cité idéale et de sahiérarchie sociale, du stratège vainqueur à la bonne épouse. Mais ellefaçonne également l'espace public, peuplé, parfois jusqu'à lasaturation, de monuments variés, du plus modeste tableau à l'éclatantestatue de bronze doré, placée sur une immense colonne. En rendant leurapparence à des oeuvres trop souvent réduites aux clauses des décretsqui promulguent leur installation, cet ouvrage offre une interprétationnouvelle de leur rôle politique, social et culturel.
What is honorific representation? Starting from this simple question, this study analyses the practice of granting benefactors a monument intheir own image. At once historical, material and iconographical, thisbook brings to light the diverse facets of this Panhellenic genre, oneas much a sign of the vitality of democratic institutions as aninstrument of social prestige. Inherited from the practices of thearistocracy in the Archaic period, honorific representation painted apicture of the ideal city-state and its social hierarchy, from thevictorious general to the good wife. But honorific representation alsoshaped the public space, itself peopled -- sometimes to saturation point-- with a diverse range of monuments, from the most modest painting tothe dazzling gilt bronze statue perched atop the highest column. Byfocussing on the outward appearance of works that have all too oftenbeen reduced to clauses in honorific decrees, this study offers a newinterpretation of the political, social and cultural role of thesemonuments.
