The Romans excel at sculpting portraits, focusing on capturing character rather than idealized perfection like the Greeks and Ancient Egyptians. Their narrative reliefs are equally impressive, showcasing a unique blend of skill and artistry. Unfortunately, many Roman paintings have vanished, leaving behind only scattered remnants. Fortunately, written records from Latin and Greek authors offer valuable insights into the art world of ancient Rome. While much Roman sculpture remains intact, often damaged or fragmented, bronze statues stand out as rare and highly prized treasures, their metal worth making them prime targets for recycling.
