The Animated Image develops a new theoretical concept for understanding the Roman art of images. The prevalent conviction at the time was that the painter, writer, orator, and dancer created images that represented living beings. However, the viewers or listeners sometimes believed they were not observing a representation but something that contained aspects of life or spirit. This book touches upon ontological and epistemological problems of this representational tension.
