English abstract
This paper compiles the epigraphic evidence on artists and their mobility across the Mediterranean world from the seventh to fifth centuries BCE. The analysis opens with statistical pie-charts and tables on masters and their places of activity as attested by literary sources and preserved “signatures”. Of the total of 126 sculptors (26 confirmed by inscriptions), 91 are known by nationality, 62 of whom certainly worked outside their area, with an increase in travel during the Classical period. This study shows that the expectation of a pure and distinctive sculptural style for each region of Greece is unwarranted.
