Transcription

1 This chapter first explores Etruscan culture, religion and art. We will go on to discuss the origins of the Roman Republic and the sculpture and architecture that they developed. The final pages of this chapter explore Roman architecture, mosaics, urban planning, monumental sculpture, portrait sculpture and equestrian sculpture. The chapter also explores Roman rulers and the enduring influence of Constantine on Christianity. Major Roman architectural achievements such as Pantheon (not to be confused with Parthenon) and Colosseum are covered. We will be studying selected sections of Jewish, Early Christian and Byzantine Art as our next topic. Feel free to scan the pages in that section and take some notes in order to get a head start.

Greek/Roman ETRUSCAN AND ROMAN HISTORY: Etruscan civilization forms a chronological and geographic buffer zone between the Greeks and Romans Villanovans came to Italy from Europe around 1000 BCE & established a culture It is likely that the Etruscans are descendants of the Villanovans Etruscans had own language, competed w Greeks (contemporaries) for regional supremacy Etruscans used the Greek alphabet, but no Etruscan literature exists today Height of Etruscan power was during the 7 th and 6 th centuries BCE Etruscans were famous for their metalwork, as copper and iron were common in Italy Etruscans never formed a unified nation and were divided into city-states (like Greece) Etruscans gradually lost land to Romans, who ended their stronghold on Italy by 270 BCE Etruscan civilization was not especially lengthy, lasting roughly 450 years ( BCE) ETRUSCAN TOMBS and FUNERARY BELIEFS: Funeral urns were used and began to gradually take on human form as time went on Some funeral murals show the deceased enjoying themselves; first known time in history As Etruscan culture progressed, their view of death became fearful and uncertain ETRUSCAN TEMPLES AND THEIR DECORATION: Temple designs were similar to Greek temples, but no stone was used (tufa and wood) Rarely is sculpture placed on the temple, but there were some attempts to do this
