Roman Art – Key Ideas
• Roman art reflects the ambitions of a powerful empire-monumental buildings and sculptures reflect the glory of the gods and the state.
• Roman architecture is revolutionary in its understanding of the powers of the arch, the vault, understanding of the powers of the arch, the vault, and concrete.
• A history of Roman painting survives on the walls of Pompeiian villas
• Roman sculpture is greatly indebted to Greek models

Roman Art
• The Romans valued Greek cultural riches and imported their sculpture, pottery, and jewelry to adorn the capital.
• A general movement took hold to reproduce Greek art by establishing workshops that did little more art by establishing workshops that did little more than make copies of Greek sculpture.
• The single most important archaeological site in the Roman world is the city of Pompeii, which was buried by volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. We know more about daily life in ancient Rome than we know about any other civilization in history

ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE DEFINITION
Same Picture
Simple definition: as colors go into the distance, two things happen. First, they become cooler (the atmosphere colors them), and the y get lighter in value. A dark shadow in the distance is never as dark as the shadow at your feet. (Also known as aerial perspective.)
