It boasts portraits of individuals and the imperial family, sculptures of gods and heroes, and large-scale funerary monuments. This book presents stunning new images of dozens of these sculptures, most of them dating to the height of the Roman Empire, and nearly half of which have not been conserved, photographed, displayed, or published since the nineteenth century. Essays introduce readers to Roman sculpture and visual culture through these works and connect the cosmopolitanism of ancient Romans with our experiences of their art today, to provide an engaging and fresh introduction to the Torlonia Collection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Art Institute of Chicago\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (March 15-June 29, 2025) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, TX\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (September 14, 2025-January 25, 2026) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMontreal Museum of Fine Arts\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (March 14-July 19, 2026)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLisa Ayla Çakmak\u003c\/b\u003e is Mary and Michael Jaharis Chair and Curator, Arts of Greece, Rome, and Byzantium, at the Art Institute of Chicago. \u003cb\u003eKatharine A.
