Frames empty space with building and columns (portico)

Temple of Apollo- one of the largest temples in the Greek world- dipteral colonnade - two rows of columns, which is complex and dramatic- open court, inner room you can't reach from one side (door is too high, very hellenistic)- narrow path leads to brightly lit area

Brutus- Roman bronze honorific statue (not Brutus)- nobody agrees on its date - 300 BC- beard - wisdom, experience, philosopher

Etruscan Portrait- votive figure for someone- terracotta better for details- personal traits - individual features (hair, nose, ears)

Aule Metele- statue dedicated to somebody cool- clothed - Romans display status in art - upper class toga- tunic stripe means he's a senator; boots of a magistrate

Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus- very large and important- impressive, visible from river- on a podium, with a porch, no peristyle- triple Cella (one god each)- made from wood, brick, no good stone

Roman House- plain front, or storefront- extended rich family lived here- head of household greets guests in tablinum, activity in atrium

Late 2nd Century Roman House- much fancier, has an indoor peristyle- peristyle - shows Greek roots, held statues- narrow front - street space valuable

Herculaneum- lots of space, big peristyle- walk and talk about art- lots of statues may or may not be related

Hermes from Villa of Papyri- example for Greek male students, athletic, learned

Drunken Satyr from Villa of Papyri- drunk, having a good time

Doryphoros Bust from Villa of Papyri- Greek education

Amazon Bust from Villa of Papyri- linked to Doyphoros (Achilles) ?
