Greek and Roman art has a huge effect to the art of many countries from a long time ago

until up to this very present day in many ways. Greek arts extended beyond sculptors and into

paintings. It emphasizes the importance and accomplishments of human beings. On the other

hand, Romans had a very unique art but some of it was adopted and influenced by greek art.

paintings has showcased their environment. The common subjects of their art are life,

landscapes, and architectural motifs.

many cultures through centuries. As with all things, the Romans and Greeks were innovators

in the field of art and developed many new styles and techniques which have been used by

countless artists ever since. This means that both are great influencer in the world not just in
