Classical art- etruscan art & roman art review: midterm. The etruscan people lived mainly along the west coast of italy. They dominated the area, including rome through the sixth century bce until they were thrown out of power in 510 bce by the expanding italic tribes that later established the roman republic and empire. The etruscans practiced both cremation and inhumation, using both small ash urns and large sarcophagi. This suggests there was a mixture of people that made up their culture, and these combinations of different ideas are exhibited in their artworks. Combinations of visual elements attributed to the near east, Egypt and greece may be seen in their works. She-wolf of the capital c. 500bce, apollo, 520bce.

Their artwork, although heavily influenced by greek art, has a character of its own - especially the realistic portrait sculpture.
