Sculptures are a very prominent and significant form of art used in ancient Roman times and today. Although the Greeks were the first to create statues based on realistic forms, the Romans adopted that style and used it often. The Statue of Liberty, is a very popular sculpture from modern times. The statue has the face of Lady Liberty and her robes are made realistically like the actually folds of a dress. The Romans were also very precise in their sculptures, such as their intricate facial expressions and the lines of the body. The picture above portrays the Statue of Liberty in New York.
