Fatima

I would like to clarify some aspects of the Roman arts, but I don't
know who can discuss it with me.
Can you help me?

I used image editor (Adobe Photoshop).
What is it?
And one question more please. Has someone ancient Greek or Roman
inscription without the picture under it? I see always the following:

http://xmages.net/storage/10/1/0/f/f...d/66d7850c.png
Why to write on the picture, if many clear stones were around?
And if it was written on the picture; when it was written?

Good examples

Thank you,

This relief:


was "repaired". I don't call it Fake, because it was made a long time ago.
This is original:



ALL "Roman" and "ancient Greek" art is "repaired", probably in the Dark Ages. Why? I don't know, somebody did not like it.
If you don't agree, post please the image of the original ancient art.

Which one is the original?

Both

Psellos

The first. The colouring of the second is obviously not original. And its not exactly Roman, its Syriac.

You mean Roman (Byzantine) Syria ? The Roman colony?

Oh, I''m afraid you don't understand me. More examples:

The Market





The coin

I can post pictures of many Byzantine Icons and churches

Too much black colour, but the contrast is better.

Psellos

Any piece of art created within an empire(e.g. Roman) doesn't make it roman art , for example.
They Syriacs had their own distinct style just as Armenians, Copts, Greeks, and Latins.

They style of the hands of the above picture I commented is very similar to many coptic icons and illustrations.

Fatima

"Any piece of art created within an empire(e.g. Roman) doesn't make it roman art" - yes, but not in this case.

Which one is the original:




Both are the otiginals. Every schoolboy, whio can use image editor, can get these pictures.
People must know this.

Psellos

Why, the illustrations we are talking about are from a Syriac translation of the Bible. It counts as Syriac for me, despite the influences it has.


Sorry, but I don't get your point.

Fatima

This icon was rewritten, but a long time ago. Ancient picture was another.

Psellos

How have you ended in this point?
