Sarcophagi of the Etruscan Period

Etruscan art (1000 BC - 100 BC) is represented simultaneously with the Greek culture. From the relationship between Greece and Rome, this period itself is important. There are few traces left, but the graves and bodies (city of death) which they buried know many things. From 5th to 5th July BC, their most powerful force makes Ettalia an important trading country by dominating the Etruscan fleet in the western Mediterranean. The fleet has established a trade route to the Aegean, the Near East and North Africa and in fact is responsible for expanding the influence of Greece to North Italy and Spain.

• Pay attention to the influence of ancient Greek paintings on the Etruscan tomb painting • Comparison of Etruscan and Greek sculpture Compare Roman temple buildings • Compare the Etruscan temple and the Greek temple Note: In 2 days we will cover the art of Etruscan. In the Etruscan Arts department, we made some comparisons of figurative sculptures between Greece and Egypt, emphasizing Etruscan burial practices, media, and contributions to Roman art.

Etruscan art was made by the Etruscan civilization in central Italy from the 9th to 2nd century BC. From around 600 BC, the Greek art imported by the Etruscans was greatly affected, but it still retains its distinctive character. Especially strong in this tradition are terracotta warriors (especially the size of stones and temples), mural paintings, and metaphorical processes, especially metaphorical sculptures of bronze. Let's produce high quality jewelry and sculpture jewelry. The art of Dacia is the art related to those known as Dacia or North Thracian; the Dacians created an artistic style that can be seen by the influence of the Scythians and the Greeks. They are very proficient in gold and silver work and pottery making. Pottery is white with red trim, pleats, geometric and stylized animal motifs. Similar decorations are made of images of metal, especially horses.

Etruscan art has a strong similarity with ancient Greece and other neighboring Mediterranean culture. The difference is that terra cotta (grilled clay) is usually more popular than marble to emphasize decoration and emphasis. Etruscan sarcophagi and grave paintings are known for their seemingly happy images, and people are enjoying themselves as they are in their lives. The Romans superseded the Etruscans as the dominant culture of Italy around 500 BC. Although the early Romans owned the king, they developed a political model of the republic which still has influence like a democratic model of Greece. Early Roman art had many features in common with Etruria (and Greek) art of the same era.
