Greek and Roman Art

Classical Art is the artistic legacy of Greece and Rome with has influences almost all of Western Art. They show the importance of people & leaders and the importance of gods & Goddesses. The Religion and culture in Greek Art, the Greeks believed in living the perfect life. They believed that a variety of different Gods controlled different aspects of every person’s destiny on earth. They believed these gods acted in every human ways and had great respect and fear for them. Many architecture and works of art were created about different Gods and so on.  Many nice sculptures, vases and the architecture are there in Greek Art like the following:

Dipylon Vase

Women Working on a Loom

François Vase

The Falling Warrior and The Dying Warior

Diskobolus

The Parthenon

and many more.

     Roman art combined needs, native talents, and styles, especially Greek. It was fashionable to own copies of Greek art. In Roman, the biggest contribution was the architecture. The span of their empire was vast, and examples of their architectural style can be seen all over Eastern Europe.

Roman art is less idealized and less religious than Greek art. It was heavily influenced by Greek art and it was more commemorative.

The purpose of Roman art is to create a record of Roman history and to celebrate and show off the power and might of the empire and emperor. 

These are the works of the Roman Art:

Head of a Roman

Pont du Gard

Temple of Fortuna Virilis

The Colosseum

Augustus of Primaporta

Head of Constantine

and many more.

    For me, the most amazing is the sculpture in Greek and Rome because it is very unique, very realistic and idealism, and perfect.
