Greek and Roman Art
Greek and Roman art have long been grouped together—indeed, until about the 16th century, few Europeans differentiated between the two. Shown here is a collection of Greek and Roman works at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Highlights of the collection include examples of Cypriot, Greek, and Roman sculpture; painted Greek vases; Roman portrait busts; and Roman wall paintings. This visitor examines some of the collection’s portrait busts and the relief sculpture of a sarcophagus (stone coffin).
