Etruscan Art
€9.00
Etruscan art was the form of figurative art produced by the Etruscan civilization in central Italy between the 9th and 2nd centuries BC. Particularly strong in this tradition were figurative sculpture in terracotta (particularly life-size on sarcophagi or temples) and cast bronze, wall-painting and metalworking (especially engraved bronze mirrors and situlae).
Etruscan Art by Nigel Spivey provides a detailed exploration of the artistic heritage of the Etruscans, the pre-Roman civilization of central Italy. The work examines the evolution of their visual culture, including pottery, sculpture, architecture, and funerary monuments. It contextualizes Etruscan aesthetics within the broader Mediterranean world, highlighting unique stylistic developments and cultural practices such as religious rituals and social structures. The book serves as a scholarly resource for understanding how Etruscan artistic expression influenced subsequent Roman art and identity.
