Wescoat (ed/εκδ), Imag(in)ing Samothrace / Εικάζοντας / Εικονίζοντας τη Σαμοθράκη (2025)
[Bibliography]

This bilingual catalogue (English and Greek) accompanied an exhibition at the ASCSA that explored the poetic and visual evocations of Samothrace and its cult of the Great Gods over two and a half millennia. Objects from the 15th to the 21st century chronicle how artists expressed their physical, emotional, and intellectual encounters with the island. Highlights include rare Renaissance drawings of Samothracian antiquities by the antiquarian Cyriacus of Ancona, a 15th-century map by Cristoforo Buondelmonti, 17th- to 19th-century maps of the island, archaeological photographs by Wilhelm Burger, architectural reconstruction drawings by John Kurtich, postwar photographs by Spiros Meletzis, paintings by the mid-20th-century Greek artists Paris Prekas and Polykleitos Rengos, and a transcendent 21st-century painting of the Fonias waterfall by Maria Filopoulou. The work of American Excavations Samothrace and its partners is featured throughout, including innovative approaches to 3D digital modeling and spectacular new visualizations.
