Beschreibung:

75-50 BCE
marble
Republican Roman

Conveys seriousness of the mind and virtue.

Powerful representation of a Roman aristocrat.

Lacks dynamism and emotion.

Verism = hyperrealism; features exaggerated.
Influenced by mental imagery and respect for family, tradition and ancestry.

A type of “death mask” that would be on display in a home. Wax masks were used in funeral ceremony.

For those without important ancestry; this gave them socio standing for an increase in politics and business.
