Numerous sarcophagi dating back to the Imperial age were decorated with incredible battle scenes. From the time of its origins, the Roman society was strongly rooted in a military spirit, which influenced its entire development, becoming a way of life. The tireless Roman spirit of expansionism with the help of a military practice that basically developed into a veritable art form, of and by itself, supported by firm faith in cultural supremacy of Rome. This led to the formation of one of the largest and longest-lived empires in history.

This work is from the "Classical Greek" series.

In the Renaissance, masters like Michelangelo, drew inspiration from the early works of the Greeks. In his works you have a sense of his admiration for classic Greek form. Rodin was also awe-struck by the great works of ancient Greece. He brought us incredible works such as The Thinker, The Kiss, and Victor Hugo and the Muses. Inspired by these, Quincy offers these open-edition casts which are reminiscent of this Classical Greek period.
