The study of Greek art is always on the move. New discoveries, made in Greece or in the various regions of the ancient world with which the Greeks were in contact, add to and/or alter the overall picture. However, renewed investigation of the material already known, seen in the light of the fresh evidence, and the reinterpretation that may follow – whether of sculpture, architecture, pottery, texts, and so forth – can be of equal, if not greater, importance.
