Painting the Roman Empire |
 The expansion of the Roman Empire two millennia ago fuelled a boom in culture and art, explored in an upcoming exhibition here spotlighting painting from the past. The event at the Scuderie Quirinale brings together over 100 of the loveliest surviving artworks from Ancient Rome to examine a crucial period in the history of the empire, from the 1st century BC to the 5th century AD. This period - from the empire's birth, with the arrival of Julius Caesar in 46 BC, through its expansion into a vast colonial power - was a time of vigorous cultural development that laid the foundational groundwork for future generations of Western artists.

Mostre, la pittura imperiale dei Cesari riconquista Roma |
Roma, 8 set (Velino) - La conoscenza della pittura di età romana è profondamente influenzata dai resti affiorati con gli scavi di Pompei ed Ercolano. Il paradosso è che le informazioni in nostro possesso sui due secoli a cavallo della nascita di Cristo sono molto maggiori di tutto quello venuto dopo. Davanti a tanta “abbondanza”, poco spazio è infatti stato riservato al mare magnum di opere e affreschi di cui sono rimasti solo pochi frammenti. A colmare questa lacuna provvede ora “Roma. La pittura di un Impero”, che dal 24 settembre al 17 gennaio sarà ospitata presso le Scuderie del Quirinale. Una panoramica a volo d’uccello su 600 anni di storia dell’arte, dal legame col mondo ellenistico del I secolo avanti Cristo all’epoca tardo-antica.
