Professor Peter Stewart

My personal research mainly lies in the fields of ancient sculpture, Roman provincial art, ancient Greek textile art, and connections between different art traditions of ancient Eurasia. My publications include, Statues in Roman Society: Representation and Response (Oxford, 2003); The Social History of Roman Art (Cambridge 2008); A Catalogue of the Sculpture Collection at Wilton House (Oxford, 2020); and Gandharan Art and the Classical World: A Short Introduction (Oxford, 2023). As Director of the Classical Art Research Centre (CARC) I am responsible for its Beazley Archive and oversee its work on a range of subjects across the history of ancient art.
