Le Pitture dei Filostrati e le Statue di Callistrato, a cura di Filippo Mercuri, offre una nuova traduzione italiana con testo a fronte delle celebri descrizioni di opere d'arte attribuite a Filostrato e Callistrato. Questo volume esplora la ricca tradizione retorica della descrizione (ekphrasis) applicata a dipinti e sculture dell'antichit classica.
L'opera presenta le vivaci e dettagliate 'Immagini' di Filostrato, che trasportano il lettore in un mondo di miti e leggende attraverso la pittura, e le 'Statue' di Callistrato, che offrono interpretazioni simboliche e allegoriche di sculture famose. Questa edizione critica essenziale per studiosi di storia dell'arte, letteratura classica e per chiunque sia interessato a comprendere il rapporto tra parola e immagine nel mondo antico.
