Marlowe, Shaky Ground: Context, Connoisseurship and the History of Roman Art (2013), similarly evaluates the loss of context among canonical objects in the study of Roman art and the resultant misapplication of methods (e.g. connoisseurship) from other art historical disciplines that sometimes misdirect inquiry and understanding of Roman art.
