Inhaltsangabe

A stunning look at major Roman marble sculptures in the Torlonia Collection
 
Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection invites you to explore the storied Torlonia Collection, one of the largest and most important collections of ancient Roman sculptures in the world. It boasts portraits of individuals and the imperial family, sculptures of gods and heroes, and large-scale funerary monuments. This book presents stunning new images of dozens of these sculptures, most of them dating to the height of the Roman Empire, and nearly half of which have not been conserved, photographed, displayed, or published since the nineteenth century. Essays introduce readers to Roman sculpture and visual culture through these works and connect the cosmopolitanism of ancient Romans with our experiences of their art today, to provide an engaging and fresh introduction to the Torlonia Collection.
