How did the Reniassance artists portray the human body?
Roman republican sculpture was sculptural portraiture (busts) which was highly realistic in a "warts and all" manner. It highlighted the signs of age of statesmen because age was associated with wisdom. It also represented the republican ideas of dignitas, integritas et gravitas.
