Ancient Roman Art


Lets visit a Roman Art Museum! Most kinds of Roman art have the characteristics of Etruscan and Greek art. But, while Greeks were more interested in ideals (like who is the most handsome man, or the most athletic man), Romans were more interested portraiture: in making statues that really looked like one particular person, especially a famous person. Hmm.....kinda mean of the Greeks to only make art of "good looking" people, but I guess they would have their reasons for their actions.

Well, to inform you again, RoMaN art has a great influnce in modern art today.
