Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the period and style of art produced during the reign of Augustus Caesar, 27BC to 14CE. With the purpose of glorifying the accomplishments of the Emperor, the style is characterized by its emphasis on propoganda and grandeur, resulting in commemorative monuments and sculpture rendered in an elclectic, graceful manner influenced by Classical Greek art. The period also saw the development of the Third Style of wall painting.
