Daphne- Nodleman and Welch

The main argument that seemed to be understood among the authors is that Roman and Greek art have artistic similarities. Welch mentions that Roman portraits seem to be more realistic than Greek art specifically in the sense that Roman sculptures show the natuaralistic features of the human body including wrinkles and facial scars, this insinuates that the Roman artists had a sense of human anatomy and how the body works. I think a good example of a naturalistic Roman figure is Aphrodite at Knidos, Rome. Aphrodite can be seen as naturalistic because of her modest stance and body language, and the possible scars/scratches that seem to appear on her added on arms and legs.
