On June 21st, the Guangdong Museum will host a major art exhibition titled "Art of the Roman Empire: Exhibition of the Ancient Treasures from the National Archaeological Museum of Naples."

This exhibition, a collaboration between the Guangdong Museum and the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, features 98 representative artifacts from the Roman Empire, offering visitors a journey through time and space. The exhibition will run until October 13th, 2024.

The showcased artifacts are all sourced from the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, including treasures unearthed from the Herculaneum and Pompeii sites, as well as pieces from the historic Farnese collection.

The exhibit spans various art forms such as sculptures, frescoes, mosaics, silverware, and glassware.

The exhibition is structured around six themes: "Artistic Language," "Portraits," "Colors," "Trends," "Banquets," and "Techniques," providing a comprehensive exploration of Roman Empire art. Visitors will gain an in-depth understanding of the art and lifestyle during this period.

In curator Peng Zhe's view, to understand Western art, one must first understand the Renaissance; and to understand the Renaissance, one must trace its origins back to the brilliance of Greek-Roman art. If ancient Greek art is seen as the cradle of Western art, then the Roman Empire period is undoubtedly the crucial stage where this stream of art converged into a mighty river.

This exhibition invites visitors to experience a pivotal era in Western art history.

Peng Zhe believes that the collaboration between the Guangdong Museum and the National Archaeological Museum of Naples is a profound tribute to world civilization history.

By admiring the treasured collections of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, visitors gain a glimpse into the brilliance of Roman Empire art. These artworks are not only aesthetic achievements but also vivid embodiments of social identity and cultural fusion.

He hopes that the exhibition will inspire visitors to appreciate the unique artistic charms and profound meanings of various human civilizations, and foster cultural exchange and mutual appreciation between China and Europe.

《罗马帝国的艺术》在粤博重磅开展

6月21日，广东省博物馆迎来了一场重量级的艺术盛宴——《罗马帝国的艺术——那不勒斯国立考古博物馆藏文物精品展》。

本次展览由广东省博物馆与那不勒斯国立考古博物馆携手合作，精选了98件（套）罗马帝国时期的代表性文物，为观众带来一场跨越时空的艺术之旅。展览将展出至2024年10月13日。

展览中展出的珍贵文物，均来自于那不勒斯国立考古博物馆。这些文物，有的是在赫库兰尼姆遗址和庞贝古城遗址中发掘的瑰宝，有的是原法尔内塞家族的传世珍藏。

展品涵盖了雕塑、湿壁画、马赛克镶嵌画、银器和玻璃器等多个艺术门类。

此次展览通过“艺术语言”“肖像”“色彩”“风尚”“宴饮”“技术”六个维度全方位揭秘罗马帝国时期的艺术，观众可以立体、深入地了解罗马帝国时期的艺术与生活。

在策展人彭哲看来，要读懂西方艺术，必须先读懂文艺复兴；而要读懂文艺复兴，则必须从璀璨的希腊-罗马艺术开始溯源。倘若将古希腊艺术视为西方艺术的摇篮，那么罗马帝国时期无疑是这股艺术之流汇聚成磅礴大河的关键阶段。

此次展览将带领观众穿越时空，亲身体验这段西方艺术史上的启蒙时代。

彭哲表示，此次广东省博物馆与那不勒斯国立考古博物馆的合作是对世界文明史的又一次深刻探寻和致敬。

通过呈现那不勒斯国立考古博物馆的珍藏，观众得以一窥罗马帝国时期艺术的璀璨。这些艺术品不仅是审美创造的结晶，更是社会身份与文化交融的鲜活载体。

他期望此次展览引领观众深入感受人类各个文明的独特艺术魅力与深邃内涵，推动中欧文化交流与互鉴。
