Greco-Roman Art

Sacred artwork depicting the gods, myths and cult practice of ancient Greece and Rome, including the closely related Etruscan and Gallo-Roman religious traditions Rome absorbed. Belongs here: a statue, vase, relief or painting whose subject is an Olympian or Roman deity, a Greek or Roman myth, a classical mystery cult, or a late antique philosophical figure working inside that tradition such as Plotinus. Does not belong here: an Egyptian, Near Eastern or Christian subject, even one a Greco-Roman era artist produced or a Renaissance painter revived, grouped under its own tradition.
