Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Exploring the emergence of composite creatures in ancient art, the book argues that "monsters" became prevalent only with the rise of urban societies and trade networks, rather than being a universal aspect of human imagery. David Wengrow traces the origins and transmission of these fantastic figures, revealing patterns in human creativity and the interplay between culture and perception. Through this lens, the work challenges conventional views on the significance of monsters in historical visual production.
