La plus noble conquête que l’homme ait jamais faite est ce fougueux animal, qui partage les fatigues de la guerre et les gloires des combats ; aussi intrépide que son maître, le cheval voit le péril et l’affronte ».

New Haven, Yale University Press 1994, cm.22x28,5, pp.489, brossura con copertina figurata a colori. Yale Publications in the History of Art, Walter B. Cahn Editor Roman sculpture was an integral part of Roman life, and the Romans placed statues and reliefs in their fora, basilicas, temples, and public baths, as well as in their houses, villas, gardens, and tombs. In this beautifully illustrated book—the first in almost a century devoted solely to Roman sculpture—Diana E. E. Kleiner discusses all the major public and private monuments in Rome, as well as many less well known monuments in the capital and elsewhere in the empire. She examines art commissioned by the imperial elite and by private patrons, including freedmen and slaves, and she also highlights monuments honoring women and children. Kleiner demonstrates that the social, ethnic, and geographical diversity of Roman patronage led to an art that was eclectic and characterized by varying styles, often tied to the social status of the patron. She also examines the interrelations between works produced for different kinds of patrons.
