Ancient Roman Statues For Sale

Roman Statues For Sale are mainly divided into two categories: narrative reliefs and portrait sculptures, both of which are dedicated to expressing real people and events.

Roman Statues Narrative reliefs

Narrative reliefs are usually used to express important historical events or scenes, and have obvious narrative characteristics. Representative works include the Altar of Peace built by Augustus, the Arch of Titus, and the Column of Trajan. These reliefs vividly show the course of major historical events, such as the participation of members of the Augustus family in sacrifices, the suppression of the Jewish uprising by Emperor Titus, and the conquest of Dacia by Emperor Trajan. These works are not only the embodiment of art, but also a record of historical culture.

Roman Statues Portrait sculptures

Roman portrait sculptures are mainly used to express the personality and emotions of the characters. In order to commemorate their ancestors, the early Romans often applied melted wax on the faces of the deceased, and made a relic mask after the wax solidified. This mask is called a wax mask, which is very realistic. Over time, portrait sculptures gradually developed a realistic style, focusing on the realistic appearance of the characters and the portrayal of their personalities. For example, the statue of the Roman Emperor Caracalla has a stern facial expression, holding the dictator’s scepter in his left hand and pointing his right hand forward, as if commanding thousands of troops, showing a resolute character.

Roman Statues Artistic Features

Roman sculptures have many innovations in realistic processing, emotional expression, exaggerated details and emphasis. For example, the statues of Roman emperors usually have realistic appearances, but their expressions are full of idealized processing, such as the “Statue of Octavian”, whose facial expression is stern, holding the dictator’s scepter in his left hand and pointing his right hand forward, as if commanding thousands of troops, showing a resolute character.

Roman Statues Cultural Background

Ancient Roman sculptures were deeply influenced by Greek art, but they were more secular in their expression techniques, focusing on reproducing the realistic image and personality of the characters. The Romans advocated realism, paid attention to the refinement of artistic expressions and the portrayal of character details, which made their sculptures have high artistic achievements.
