The Romans have left us a large amount of beautiful art: statues, reliefs, mosaics, frescoes, pottery, silverware, jewellery, cameos and much more. Contrary to a widely held belief that the Romans were not good at art, they produced amazing works of art with a high degree of sophistication. Roman art was also multicultural. It is well known that Roman architecture and sculpture were influenced by the Greeks. It is less well known that later on it was also influenced art from other areas of the empire. The Romans liked to combine different artistic traditions.
Famous statues are the Augustus of Prima Porta, the equestrian statue ofMarcusAurelius and a collection of Roman copies ofGreekstatues at theVaticanmuseums which were discovered in the 16th century and were inspirationalfor renaissance painters andsculptors, such as the Laocoon, the Belvedere Apollo, the Sleeping Ariadne, the Nile and many others.
The most famous mosaics are the ones found at Pompeii and Hadrian's villa.The most famous frescoes are from the House of Livia Drusilla, the wife of Augustus. They are in museums in Rome and Naples.

∙ 10y agoThe main Roman forms of art were sculpture, frescoes and mosaics. The Romans also made beautiful relief art, cameo carvings, jewellery, silverware and pottery. Roman architecture was also artistic.
Sculpture was the main art. The Romans (like the Greeks) were fond of statues and produced massive amount of them. In the republican period they made busts which were highly realistic and detailed the signs of age. Age and its wisdom were seen as the hallmarks of statesmanship and symbolised the virtues of integritas et gravitas. The portraiture sculpture of this period is considered the best there has ever been. In the later period they made full body statues modelled on the highly refined Hellenistic sculpture.
