ROMAN ART

For several centuries Ancient Rome was the most powerful on earth,excelling all other at military organization and warfare,engineering and architecture.Furthermore,its unique cultural achievements include the invention of the dome and the groin vault. Despite this,Roman sculptors and painter produced only a limited amount of outstanding original find art.Moreover,Roman practice many type of art including sculpture,find art painting, and decorative art.But, it was its urban architecture that was ground breaking as was its landscape painting and portrait busts.
Rome had born some great artists that keep on mention past tense until today.Furthermore,they'd also return down in academical syllabus for other generations review and not forget to mention in history books.As they'd create some great and ground-breaking masterpiece that hardly be imagine during those days.The most famous artists evergreen,Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Rapheal. Those three artists were the great artists among all.Leonardo Da vinci had create many artworks and most famous is known a The Vitruvian Man or in Italian called Le Proporzioni Del corpo umamo secondo vitruvio, a drawing made by him using ink.Furthermore, it is executed around 1490 accompany by notes base on the works of the architect Vitruvius. Michelangelo is the creator of the painting called "The Cration of Adam" and was created around 1512.It is a fresco painting which forms part of the Sistine chapel's ceilingb. Moreover, it is a kind of history painting during the Renaissance period.The school of Athens is another artwork by a great artist Rapheal or in Italian called"Scuola Di Athene"and it is about Ancient Greece and is located at Rapheal Rooms. Furthermore,it is created around 1509 with 5.0 x 7.7 m dimension. Same as Michelangelo's artwork it is history painting.
Realism.That was the style that they used in their artwork.In early Roman art around 510 BC to 270 BC, the roman art tended to be realistic and direct.As if they made a portrait, the portrait itself either t be 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional.Usually the portrait will be detailed and un-idealized without focusing on propaganda.For example, we can see on the column of Marcus Aurelis which was created around 180-193 BC. It is a Doric Column featuring a spiral relief and was build in honor of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelis and model past on Trajan Column.After that,eroticism also popularly figured into the painting of Ancient Rome and for example, Triumphal painting were very important to Roman as they showcase important military victories or events from wars. In fact,one of the older roman painting discovered in a tomb is a scene of soldiers and their weapons.
Next,Rome is famous for its sculpture and find art painting but many not know that they also work on decorative art such as music,jewelry, and ivory carving. Back then, all of their works were handmade.Indeed,sculptors and find art painting practiced by roman were executed perfectly using either bronze, marble  statuary or murals for example Phidias or Pheidias was a Greek sculpture, painter and architect who lived in the 5th century BC,and is commonly regarded as one of the greatest of all sculpture and one of his great artwork is Lemnian Athena.The Lemnian Athena was classical great statue of goddess Athena.According to Pausanias, the original bronze was created by Phidias circa 450-440 BC.
After that, Romans prefer extreme realism when it came to portraiture even of emperor and their families. Furthermore, the usage of color their painting are for freshness and vivid, Italy was the home of painters of great talent. During 12th century to the 8th century BC,brown painting in the vases called geometrical style.In the next period the figure of man and gods to be more realistic and were painted in black on the red clay.But the most obvious we can see about Romans,style is their eroticism artworks.It was a part from Romans attitude and to understand the Romans,it is necessary to understand their bedroom practiced.
Equally important, The Romans art can be found either Pompeii or Herculaneum.Pompeii is a town in Italy which was an Ancient Romans town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania.As also as at Herculaneum, an ancient Romans town,this was destroyed by volcanic pyroclastic flows in 79 AD. One of the best known artwork in the Naples Museum particularly of Pompeii and Herculaneum is "Pan Copulating with Goat.Next was the "Villa the Mysteries" and also "The wedding'."Trajan column was an example of sculpture taht can be found in Pompeii also not to forget the Arch of Constantine.
