I28-R145-6013_oai2025-11-17 Reznik, Carolina 2019-02-01 In this article, we analyze the “theatrical” paintings depicted on artifacts used in daily or ritual activities. We believe that these artifacts constitute an important material source from which we can study ancient Greek theatrical performance. These pictorial representations are not always clear or univocal, and often one cannot determine whether or not they are related to the theater. The issue is complicated, especially by another feature of these paintings: often what is painted is not the theatrical representation, as one would see it on stage, but rather what the play represents, that is, a representation of reality, the dramatic illusion. With this in mind, and after reviewing a number of general characteristics associated to the theater and its socio-cultural context, we will define; first, what a “theatrical painting” is, and then we will study these paintings taking into account the different ways in which comedy and tragedy are represented. Finally, we will move from the analyzed paintings to engage with theatrical spectacle and what characterizes it. En el presente artículo nos proponemos analizar las pinturas denominadas “teatrales” que se encuentran en artefactos destinados a uso cotidiano o ritual. Nuestro abordaje sostiene que ellas son una fuente material de suma importancia a partir de la que se puede estudiar y reconstruir el espectáculo teatral griego antiguo. Estas representaciones pictóricas no son siempre claras y unívocas y muchas veces no se puede precisar con certeza si están relacionadas o no con el teatro. La cuestión se complica, especialmente, por otra modalidad de dichas pinturas: muchas veces lo que se pinta no es la representación teatral como podríamos verla en el escenario sino lo que la obra representa, es decir, la realidad representada, la ilusión dramática. Con esto en mente, y luego de repasar algunas características generales del teatro y del contexto socio-cultural de la época, definiremos, en primer lugar, qué son las “pinturas teatrales” y, a continuación, las analizaremos teniendo en cuenta las diferentes maneras de representar la comedia y la tragedia. Por último, argumentaremos a partir de lo analizado en las pinturas respecto del espectáculo teatral y sus características. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/6013 10.34096/arqueologia.t25.n1.6013 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/6013/5319 Derechos de autor 2019 Carolina Reznik Arqueología; Vol. 25 No. 1 (2019): January-April; 203-220 Arqueología; Vol. 25 Núm. 1 (2019): enero-abril; 203-220 1853-8126 0327-5159 Teatro Clásico Grecia Pintura Artefactos Theater Classic Greece Painting Vessels The study of the ancient Greek theatrical performance from material sources: painting on vessels from the 5th and 4th centuries B.C.
