Classic figure creation Roman Women statue in marble

During the Roman Empire, the realistic style of Roman women statues was popular, and portraits with strong personalities and complex inner-world descriptions appeared. The Romans have a tradition of being statues of their ancestors, so they have extremely high requirements for realistic and expressive Roman women statues and have achieved excellent results in portrait carving. Ancient Rome was the conqueror of ancient Greece, but it became the conqueror of ancient Greek culture.

The outstanding contribution of Roman women’s statue art to Western civilization lies in its inheritance and development of the ancient Greek sculpture art tradition. The art of Roman women’s statues inherits the fine traditions of ancient Greece and integrates the local Etruscan sculpture art and copper casting and stone carving skills. The Roman women’s statue has a very high status in the social life of ancient Rome, and the number of sculpture works is still unimaginable today. The Romans worshiped their ancestors, and very early began to use plaster or wax to cast molds from the faces of the dead, paint them into realistic masks, and place them in their homes. Another reason is that the Roman rulers tried to show off personal authority and create a cult of personality.
