WORLD CIVILIZATION

Detailed explanation-1: -Etruscan art was produced by the Etruscan civilization in central Italy between the 10th and 1st centuries BC. From around 750 BC it was heavily influenced by Greek art, which was imported by the Etruscans, but always retained distinct characteristics.

Detailed explanation-2: -Greek potters and their works influenced the development of Etruscan fine painted wares (1975.363), and, consequently, new types of Etruscan pottery were created during the Orientalizing period (ca. 750–575 B.C.) and subsequent Archaic period (ca. 575–490 B.C.).

Detailed explanation-3: -The Greeks carved idealized, eternally-youthful figures. The statues represented the perfection of the human form. Roman statues inherited the Etruscan devotion to accuracy, resulting in sculptures that were much more realistic portraits of the subjects.

Detailed explanation-4: -Greek contact influenced much of the culture, including art, religion, architecture, and writing of the Etruscans. For instance, the Etruscan alphabet is based on the Greek alphabet and the Latin alphabet of the Romans is based on the Etruscan alphabet.
