The book brings together essays by colleagues and students of Árpád M. Nagy in recognition of his enduring contribution to the study of Graeco-Roman art and archaeology. Uniting scholars from Hungary, Germany, and the wider international community, Everything Is Illuminated bears witness to Nagy’s lasting influence on the field of classical studies, reflecting the breadth of his scholarly interests and the methodological precision that has characterized his work. Focusing on the interpretation of ancient imagery – from engraved gemstones and painted vases to monumental sculpture – the essays address the interaction between visual and textual narratives, the symbolism of personal and communal identity, and the transformation of forms across time and cultural contexts. Together, they offer new perspectives on the visual culture of the ancient Mediterranean and on the interpretative approaches that continue to shape its study.

Πᾶσαν χάριν καὶ πρᾶξιν καὶ σώματος προφύλαξιν, Árpád!
