The theme of image making has already been well studied, both by Egyptologists and by specialists in the Greek and Roman worlds. A mental construction, the image is a system of signs and is the result of the use of a set of processes specific to figurative language. The image is therefore a form of language that these figurative strategies help to make intelligible.
If the questions of development, adaptation and evolution of figurative strategies are at the heart of this collective dossier, the latter proposes to explore further the relationships that these processes maintain with the semantics of the image, by adopting a resolutely comparative approach which embraces Antiquity in its plurality.
This multi-voiced investigation questions the processes that contribute to identifying and characterizing an image within an image, while understanding figurative strategies in the light of the notions of perception and reception – the image being able to have a capacity to evoke, to suggest what is not visible to the viewer's eyes.
