L'Età della Conquista
The Romans took a lot from the Greeks and developed into their own. Especially in art. A new exhibition at the Musei Capitolini offers you an unique collection of Greek art from early Roman days.
The works comes from one of the most significant eras for the development of all western art: the period following the Greek campaigns at the end of the third century BC until the first half of the first century AD. The exhibition features imposing marble, bronze and terracotta statues including cycles and friezes as well as domestic decorative elements.
On display will be possible for the first time a comparative analysis between the immediate works of Greek artists performed at home and works created in Rome – naked bodies in poses able to deliver authoritative charisma and honor, maybe even more imposing in military clothes with armor, cloak and long scepter. Greek taste in every sphere of daily living, from the ephemeral to the substantial, paintings, sculptures, objects, architecture, Greek traces everywhere.
