Which of the following statements about Roman art is NOT correct?

D. Romans emphasized realism, while the Greeks were often more interested in ideas.


Which one?

Answer 1

C and D are true

and to some minor extent A is true

B stands out to me to be the most incorrect statement but depending on the artist it could be true.

Let me also add that the answer will depend on who's history you are studying and who is teaching. Every one of these statements could be easily argued as true/false. That is what happens with art and culture. The normally accepted answer is the one that most people agree to and not what truly was.

Answer 2

The answer is D

Answer 3

A
