type of Aphrodite with Eros was adapted by the Romans to represent imperial women with their infants. As you can see here, we have the “Bust of a Woman”. This fine sculpture echoes the taste that the Romans inspired to have when making portraits of women.

Every individual has different perspectives on any given object or concept. On Tuesday December 5, I attended the McNay Art Museum and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. The first floor displayed Chuck Ramirez’s, a notable artist from San Antonio, well-known work and provided the descriptions for his artwork. I had walked through the museum and found three art works that resonated with me each telling a different story. Focusing on these three artworks I will identify, describe, analyze, and…

The Funerary Monument of Flavius Agricola is a Roman marble piece by Antonine that is now on display in the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The sculpture was first found in 1626 under the floor of the Vatican when Bernini’s famous altar was being put up. After the monument was found, it was added to the collection of Cardinal Bernini.

The Path to Success People have different views and perceptions on how they think they could succeed in life. Some people think they need to force opportunities to come their way, while others think they should let the opportunities come on their own. Some are optimistic, and some are pessimistic.
