The Project
This initiative aims to enrich understanding of these sculptures by analyzing their typologies, symbolic meanings, roles in ancient societies, and their later reinterpretations in antiquarian contexts.
By using cutting-edge methodologies and interdisciplinary collaboration, the project seeks to bridge knowledge gaps and foster gender inclusivity in cultural narratives.
Using a multidisciplinary approach, the research combines art historical analysis, archaeometric studies, and archival work to uncover how these sculptures functioned in domestic, funerary, and public spaces. It also examines their reinterpretation during the Renaissance and 19th century, particularly in antiquarian collections. Digital humanities tools, such as 3D scanning and reconstruction, allow for detailed study and visualization of the sculptures and their contexts.
​
The project shares its findings widely through digital reconstructions, exhibitions, and educational programs, making the research accessible to academic and public audiences. By offering a deeper understanding of these portraits and their cultural significance, ANTIQUAE FEMINAE not only advances knowledge of classical art but also contributes to greater gender inclusivity in the study and presentation of cultural heritage.
