The magnificent interior of this "Cabinet of Sculpture"
contains a display of works from the late republic and early empire
(1st century B.C. - 1st century A.D.), one of the most brilliant periods
in the history of Ancient Roman art. The collection of sculptural
portraits is represented by a gallery of images of the rulers of Rome
- Octavian Augustus and members of his family, the Emperors Tiberius
and Nero. Outstanding among the early works are a bronze Portrait
of a Roman and a Double Portrait - a tombstone depicting
brothers. In the room you can also see portrait gems and articles
of applied art. |
