How has Roman architecture influenced modern?

Answer 1

The ancient Roman architecture has influenced modern-day architecture by the reuse of columns. If you look at ancient Roman temples, many have columns around the exterior, such as the Pantheon. This is represented in the modern-day world in many buildings such as the White House, The Lincoln Museum, and many others.

Answer 2

Influential contributions to culture have a kind of immortality. The best place to observe this is in architecture. It is not uncommon for even starkly modern buildings to have stylised Roman arches and columns. Language, too, even while changing, keeps its link with the past, so that the make up of a word like "conspirators" (literally those who "breathe together") still has some ring of its original sense. In literature, it is often said that we are always telling over and over the same stories and this is because much of our literature can be traced back to prehistoric myths.

In other arts, such as music, there was a more or less complete break with the past with the fall of the Roman Empire. Nonetheless, the survival of Roman sculpture and literature had a tremendous influence on the works of the Renaissance and the discovery of the buried cities of Pompei and Herculaneum brought about renewed interest in classical styles in the period before the Industrial Revolution.

Also the Cubist painter Ferdnand Leger was strongly influenced by roman art as also the German Expressionist painter Max Beckmann. Roman art was an alternative for Classical or Greec art for many artists who looked for their art roots, as the abstract sculptor Wotruba and Henry Moore.|

Answer 3

The architecture of ancient Rome has influenced successive societies, even Western Civilization as a whole, in a persistent way. Modern society still bears the mark of Roman architecture in the grand staircases and pillared porticoes of its public buildings, in the use of raised piping (aqueducts of a modern sort), in arches utilized for decorative and support-purposes, in the arrangement of concrete-based roadways, and in many other ways.

Answer 4

Themes of Roman mythology were common in the painting and sculpture of the Renaissance and later painting and sculpture. They were frequently used for centuries in western European literature.

Answer 5

Roman sculpture and architecture influenced European sculpture painting and architecture until the early 20th century. They influenced the art of the Renaissance (14th-15th century) Baroque (17th-18th century) and Neoclassicism (18th-20th century, and is still sometimes used today).
