  1. Roman Art

  2. The Rise of the Republic • Began with overthrow of last Etruscan King Tarquinius Superbus • Single government ruled for the first time in history • Within this rule were a vast combination of people from various cultures, creeds, religions, tongues. • As Romans gained land and authority, they employed a legal, administrative and cultural structure that would last for years to come, and still seen today.

  3. 211 BC was a major turning point in history of art: • Marcellus, after conquering Greek city of Syracuse, brought back to Rome the art of the Greeks (statues and paintings) • Roman art is not only a ‘spin-off’ of Greek art, but drawn upon by both the Etruscan and Greek traditions. • Thus leading to a mix that is distinctly Roman.

  4. More info…. • Roman builders and architects developed rational planning, durable materials, and highly sophisticated engineering methods • The Romans built a vast and sophisticated network of roads. Many modern European highways still follow the lines laid down by the Roman engineers • Wealthy Romans even brought nature in doors by commissioning artists to paint landscapes on the interior walls of their homes. • professional artists were generally considered little more than skilled laborers. • The Romans adopted the Greek gods and heroes as their own. The Romans assimilated Greek religious beliefs and practices into a form of state religion.
