Graeco-Roman art

Graeco-Roman art refers to the artistic styles and works produced in ancient Greece and Rome, reflecting their cultural values and historical influences. Greek art emphasized idealized human forms, balance, and harmony, seen in sculptures, pottery, and architecture like temples. Roman art built on Greek traditions but often prioritized realism, practicality, and grandeur, with detailed busts, mosaics, and monumental architecture such as aqueducts and amphitheaters. Together, Graeco-Roman art shaped the foundations of Western artistic heritage, blending aesthetic ideals with techniques that conveyed power, religion, and everyday life.
