Workshop (Taller)

Contexto del término After assembling the sculptors' signatures, one can establish both the stemmata of individual families of sculptors and the professional ties that existed between unrelated sculptors. If we define a workshop as either a single sculptor with a steady production over more than 10 years or two or more sculptors who worked together on more than one occasion, we can identify eight workshops on Rhodes between ca. 340 B. C. and A. D. 7. Although families were the core of the longest-lived workshops, all traceable workshops involved sculptors unrelated to the principals. In some cases, the outside sculptors bore the same ethnic as the principals; in other instances, they were originally from different cities.
