Ancient Art. The goal of this essay is to illustrate the parallels between the many ancient arts in history. The clear theme among many groups seems to be the interest in human, their actions and their emotions. This paper will illustrate that point. Few undamaged originals of ancient architecture or large sculpture remain, and no many paintings have survived. An abundance of pottery vases, coins, jewelry, and gems have survived, however, and along with Etruscan tomb paintings, these give some indication of the characteristics of ancient art. These treasures are supplemented by literary sources. As we can see through history and artifacts, common themes do exist between the ancient art of Rome, Greek, and Egyptian art. Artists were interested in expressing and representing human beings. With the actions and emotions of human beings always being the centerpiece, the parallels between the arts is clear and this can be seen in vases, and pottery, architecture and literature.
