When talking about Antiquity, we are mainly referring to the Greco-Roman world and cultural sphere from 800 BC until 600 AD that marked not only the region of the Mediterranean Sea but the whole of Europe (named after the Greek goddess of .... ) and multiple other corners of the world until today.

Romantic languages spoken all around the world, theaters, poetry, arts, architecture, politics and much more were deeply influenced by Ancient Greek and Roman culture.

Especially during and after the Renaissance, when Western Culture was in the midst of the Neo-Classical movement, having rediscovered the antiquities of Ancient Greece and Rome: resulting in many paintings of the Roman goddess Venus, plays by Shakespeare like Troilus and Cressida or the St Peter's Basilica in Vatican. Even in today's pop culture, such as music videos, artists continue to reference certain classical motifs.

Our artists on SINGULART also pay tribute or are inspired by the antique world, arts and culture. Here our curatorial team have handpicked a selection of artworks that evoke Antiquity in this exclusive collection.
