  5. Relation to Final Project- This artwork relates to my final project in that it serves as a similarity with the previously chosen ancient Greek Artwork due to its artists’ use of bronze material. It is an Ancient Roman artwork example.
  6. Reason for piqued interest- The reason that this artwork caught my interest is due to the solemn power that it emits, as well as its ability to relate to a plethora of Ancient Greek artworks as well.

 

• 1. Artist- Unkown/Ancient Rome
  2. Title- Wall painting from Room H of the Villa of P. Fannius Synistor at Boscoreale
  3. Date- 50 B.C. to 40 B.C.
  4. Museum- The Metropolitan Museum of Art
  5. Relation to Final Project- This artwork relates to my final project in that it is an Ancient Roman artwork. Not only this, but it is a deviation from the previous style of artworks chosen for my project in that it is a wall painting instead of a sculpture.
  6. Reason for piqued interest- The reason that this artwork caught my interest is because it is an example of a non-sculpture form of art emerging from the Ancient Roman Empire.

  2. Title- Marble statue of Eirene (the personification of peace)
  3. Date- 14 A.D. to 68 A.D.
  4. Museum- The Metropolitan Museum of Art
  5. Relation to Final Project- This artwork relates to my final project in that it is both a marble statue and is also a recreation of the original, ancient greek version of it, which was created by Kephisodotos.
  6. Reason for piqued interest- The reason that this artwork caught my interest is due to its being a recreation of an originally ancient greek artwork. Furthermore, its deeper meaning, as well as the similarities that the statue holds with the Ancient Greek version of it, both serve as points of high interest.

Thesis Statement: All aforementioned artworks show that although both the Ancient Greeks and Ancient Romans were enthusiasts of sculptures and human models alike, their difference in minor details is evident as well.
