deity was shangdi but aristocratic families preferred to contact the spirits of their ancestors they prepared elaborate banquets of food and drink for them heated and served in bronze ritual vessels these bronze vessels had many shapes depending on their purpose for wine water cereals or meat and some of them were marked with readable characters which shows the development of writing this kind of vessels of a very high quality and complexity were discovered on the valley of the yellow river in the henan province in sites like erlitou anyang or zhengzhou they were used in religious rituals to cement the shang authority and when the shang capital fell around 1050 bc its conquerors the zhou c 1050 156 bc continued to use these containers in religious rituals but principally for food rather than drink the shang court had been accused of excessive drunkenness and the zhou promoting the imperial tian heaven as the prime spiritual force rather than ancestors limited wine in religious rites in favour of food the use of ritual bronzes continued into the early han dynasty 206 bc 220 ad one of the most commonly used motifs was the taotie a stylized face divided centrally into two almost mirror image halves with nostrils eyes eyebrows jaws cheeks and horns surrounded by incised patterns whether taotie represented real mythological or wholly imaginary creatures cannot be determined the enigmatic bronzes of sanxingdui near guanghan in sichuan province are evidence for a mysterious sacrificial religious system unlike anything elsewhere in ancient china and quite different from the art of the contemporaneous shang at anyang excavations at sanxingdui since 1986 have revealed four pits containing artefacts of bronze jade and gold there was found a great bronze statue of a human figure which stands on a plinth decorated with abstract elephant heads besides the standing figure the first two pits contained over 50 bronze heads some wearing headgear and three with a frontal covering of gold leaf tubular bronze fragments with little branches were discovered here as well probably representing trees and also bronze leaves fruits and birds over 4000 objects were found at sanxingdui in 1986 succeeding the shang dynasty the zhou dynasty 1050 221 bc ruled more than any other one from chinese history its last centuries were characterized by violence the era being known as the warring states period during this troubling time some philosophical movements appeared confucianism daoism and legalism the warring states period was ended by qinshi huangdi who united china in 221 bc he ordered a huge tomb guarded by the terracotta army another huge project was a predecessor of the great wall erected for rejecting pillaging tribes from the north after the death of the emperor his

of us see them today all egyptian greek and roman sculptures and temples were initially painted in bright colours they became white because of hundreds of years of neglect and vandalism provoked by christians during the early middle ages who saw them as pagan and believed that they promoted idolatry 29 through harmonious proportion and a focus on aesthetics ancient greek and roman art became the foundation and inspiration of all western art being the standard to which most european artists aspired until the 19th century 30 the latin poet horace writing in the age of roman emperor augustus 1st century bc to 1st century ad famously remarked that although conquered on the battlefield captive greece overcame its savage conqueror and brought the arts to rustic rome the power of greek art lies in its representation of the human figure and its focus on human beings and the anthropomorphic gods as chief subjects the artworks of the greeks were meant to decorate temples and public buildings to celebrate battle victories and remarkable personalities and to commemorate the dead they were also given as offerings to the gods although there was no definitive transition the art is usually divided stylistically into the four periods of geometric archaic classical and hellenistic during the classical period 5th and 4th centuries bc realism and idealism were delicately balanced in comparison the works of the earlier geometric 9th to 8th centuries bc and archaic 7th to 6th centuries bc ages can seem appear primitive but these artists had different goals naturalistic representation was not necessarily their aim greek artists built on the artistic foundations of egypt further developing the arts of sculpture painting architecture and ceramics among the techniques they perfected include methods of carving and casting sculptures fresco painting and building magnificent buildings roman art lovers collected ancient greek originals roman replicas of greek art or newly created paintings and sculptures fashioned in a variety of greek styles thus preserving for posterity works of art otherwise lost wall and panel paintings sculptures and mosaics decorated public spaces and private homes greek imagery also appeared on roman jewellery vessels of gold silver bronze and terracotta and even on weapons and commercial weights rediscovered during the early renaissance the arts of ancient greece transmitted through the roman empire have served as the foundation of western art until the 19th century 31 since the advent of the classical age in athens in the 5th century bc the classical way of building has been deeply woven into western understanding of architecture and indeed of civilization itself 32 from circa 850 bc to circa 300 ad ancient greek culture flourished on the greek mainland on the peloponnese and on the aegean islands five of the wonders of the world were greek the temple of artemis at ephesus the statue of zeus at olympia the mausoleum at halicarnassus the colossus of rhodes and the lighthouse of alexandria however ancient greek architecture is best known for its temples many of which are found throughout the region and the parthenon is a prime example of this later they will serve as inspiration for neoclassical architects during the late 18th and the 19th century the most well known temples are the parthenon and the erechtheion both on the acropolis of athens another type of important ancient greek buildings were the theatres both temples and theatres used a complex mix of optical illusions and balanced ratios looking at the archaeological remains of ancient buildings it is easy to perceive them as limestone and concrete in a grey taupe tone and to make the assumption that ancient buildings were monochromatic however architecture was polychromed in much of the ancient world one of the most iconic ancient buildings the parthenon c 447 432 bc in athens had details painted with vibrant reds blues and greens besides ancient temples medieval cathedrals were never completely white most had colored highlights on capitals and columns 33 this practice of coloring buildings and artworks was abandoned during the early renaissance this is because leonardo da vinci and other renaissance artists including michelangelo promoted a color palette inspired by the ancient greco roman ruins which because of neglect and constant decay during the middle ages became white despite being initially colorful the pigments used in the ancient world were delicate and especially susceptible to weathering without necessary care the colors exposed to rain snow dirt and other factors vanished over time and this way ancient buildings and artworks became white like they are today and were during the renaissance 34 horse figurine

ad celtic art known for its intricate patterns symbolic motifs and distinctive designs evolved over a long period with its roots stretching back to the early iron age this rich and diverse artistic tradition spans several centuries and regions primarily encompassing what is today ireland britain france and parts of central and eastern europe the history of celtic art can be broken down into two key periods 42 hallstatt culture circa 800 500 bce the earliest recognizable form of celtic art is associated with the hallstatt culture located in what is now austria and surrounding regions this period saw the development of distinctive metalworking techniques especially in gold bronze and iron artifacts from this time often feature geometric patterns stylized animal motifs and abstract spirals 43 la tène culture circa 500 bce 1 ce the la tène culture is considered the height of early celtic art during this period there was a significant increase in the complexity and intricacy of designs artisans in la tène created weapons jewelry and everyday items adorned with swirling patterns knotwork and stylized animals this era is also noted for the first significant use of the celtic knot a form of endless loop design that symbolizes eternity and continuity 44 rome edit main article roman art augustus of prima porta left a painted reconstruction in braga portugal right the marble original statue c 20 bc 2 06 m in vatican museums in vatican city 45 no civilization has had an impact as enduring and powerful on western art as the roman empire the legacy of ancient rome is evident through the medieval and early modern periods and roman art continues to be reused in the modern era in both traditionalist and postmodern artworks 46 sometimes it is viewed as derived from greek precedents but also has its own distinguishing features some of them inherited from etruscan art roman sculpture is often less idealized than its greek precedents being very realistic roman architecture often used concrete and features such as the round arch and dome were invented luxury objects in metal work gem engraving ivory carvings and glass are sometimes considered in modern terms to be minor forms of roman art 47 although this would not necessarily have been the case for contemporaries an innovation made possible by the roman development of glass blowing was cameo glass a white shell was first created into which coloured glass was then blown so as to produce an interior lining the white shell was then cut down to create relief patterns of white against a darker background they also made mosaics this way producing durable pictorial art with cut stone cubes tesserae and or chips of coloured terracotta and glass some villas of wealthy romans had their walls covered with frescos aimed at dazziling and entertaining guests much of roman wall painting that survives comes from sites around the bay of naples in particular pompeii and herculaneum thriving towns that were preserved under metres of volcanic debris when mount vesuvius erupted in 79 ad as a result roman wall painting is often discussed in terms of four pompeian styles 48 the romans were deeply influenced by all aspects of hellenistic culture in architecture just like in other art media they essentially adopted the class...
