Earlier today I visited the ancient Roman site of Ostia Antica located near the coast on the outskirts of Rome by the delta of the Tiber river, which runs through the city. It's a huge place and had great importance as a port/trading centre during the Roman Empire... #ostiaantica #rome #ancient #italy #history #travel #photography #roman

Pietro Cavallini's Last Judgement fresco created in 1293 at the church of Santa Cecilia in the Trastevere district of Rome. The style is still pretty medieval with uniform facial expressions but there's a sense of perspective and a small sense of naturalism creeping into the faces. In fact the style was characterized as Roman naturalism. The fresco is Cavallini's masterwork and went on to influence several proto and early Renaissance artists. Giotto's enormous frescos at the Arena chapel in Padova created in the begining of the 14th century are said to be influenced by Cavallini's fresco. #fresco #art #rome #painting #arthistory #pietrocavallini #giotto #renaissance #italy #church

What a surprise it was to see Marcel Duchamp's Three Stoppages work from 1913 at the MAXXI centre in Rome. I am not sure whether it's an original or later replica though - I think the latter. #duchamp #maxxi #rome #conceptualart #modernart #art

Lo Spinario (Boy With Thorn) at the Musei Capitolini. This Roman era bronze sculpture was a huge influence on many artists of the Renaissance and one of the first old rediscovered Roman works to be copied #roman #sculpture #antiquity #rome #italy #art
