Olympian Gods: From the Dresden Sculpture Collection

For the ancient Greeks, ornate and imposing statues signified the presence of the gods and symbolized power and ideal beauty. At the time of the Roman Empire, sculptors copied Greek models and conveyed an aura of education and scholarship. To this day, these works continue to express grandeur and charm. The Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden hold one of the most important collections of ancient sculptures in Germany.
