For
several centuries, Ancient Rome was the most powerful on earth, excelling all
others 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 painters 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 academicals 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 Raphael.
Those three artists were the great artists among all. Leonardo Da Vinci had
created many art works and most famous one is known as The Vitruvian Man or in
Italian called Le Proporzioni Del Corpo Umano Secondo Vitruvio, a drawing made
by him using ink. Furthermore, it is executed around 1490 accompany by notes
based on the works of the architect Vitruvius. Michelangelo is the creator of
the painting called “The Creation Of Adam” and was created around 1512. It is a
fresco painting which forms part of the Sistine chapel’s ceiling. Moreover, it
is a kind of history painting during the renaissance period. The school of
Athens is another artwork by a great artist Raphael or in Italian called
“Scuola Di Athene” and it is about Ancient Greece and is located at Raphael
Rooms. Furthermore, it is created around 1509 with 5.0mx7.7m dimension. Same as
Michelangelo’s artwork it is also a history painting.

Realism.
That was the style that they used in their artwork. In the early Roman art
around 510 BCE to 270 BCE, the romans tended to be realistic and direct. As if
they made a portrait, the portrait itself either to 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 BCE. It is a Doric Column featuring a spiral
relief and was built in honour of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelis and model past
on Trajan’s Column. After that, eroticism also popularly figured into the
paintings of Ancient Rome and for example, Triumphal painting were very
important to romans as they showcase important military victories or events
from wars. In fact, one of the older romans paintings 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
paintings practiced by romans were executed perfectly using either bronze,
marble statuary or murals for example Phidias or pheidias was a Greek sculptor,
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 a classical great statue of
the goddess Athena. According to Pausanias, the original bronze was created by
Phidias circa 450-440 BCE.
After
that, Romans prefer extreme realism when it came to portraiture even of emperor
and their families. Furthermore, the usage of colour their painting are for
freshness and vivid. The freedom and vigor of the drawing, would seem to
indicate that even from this ancient days, 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’s Column was an example of sculpture that can
be found in Pompeii also not to forget the Arch of Constantine.
