Description
Roman Art by Paul Zanker offers a fresh reassessment of the visual arts in late Republican Rome and the Empire. This cultural history explores how images carried messages and affirmed values, emerging from the interaction between Roman society and Hellenistic culture. The analysis begins with the characteristic features of Roman art, which began to emerge when Romans were exposed to Greek lands in the third century B.C. As a result, Roman society's values and social structure changed, influencing the functions and character of images generated. Presented in clear and accessible language, this book provides new insights into the evolution of Roman art forms and meanings.
