When we talk about Western art, we refer directly to everything related to the history of art applied to Western civilization. It is important to start by saying that a good part of the history of Western art borders the art history of the European continent, marking since the Middle Ages.
In this sense, it is necessary to name those cultures that marked the Western art and with it the historical heritage.
The Greeks Western Art
One of the cultures that left the world with the greatest historical heritage was the Greeks. Greek mythology is one of the best known and from which innumerable literary, architectural and even cinematographic works have come off. From 3000 to almost 30 BC, ancient Greek culture dominated much of the civilized territory until then, occupying Italy, Egypt, Sicily, North Africa in general, some parts of Asia and numerous islands in the Mediterranean. It was divided into five periods separated by time: Aegean Culture (divided in turn into Cycladic and Cretan cultures), Mycenaean, Archaic, Classical and Hellenic Culture.
The Romans
The Romans, as for western art, emerge as the result of inspiration from the last period of Greek culture, the Hellenic period. The Roman Empire arose in 753 BC with the founding of the city of Rome. Properly, the culture of this city, extended to the north of Africa, Europe and part of Asia, is not considered an empire until the year 27 BC. However, for practicality purposes, it will be referred to in this way throughout all its periods throughout this text. Before becoming an empire, it was called the Republic of Rome.
The Romans had a cultural system that impacted all societies after them. They had a calendar, and they understood how the days were divided into hours and minutes. So, they named the months with names used by our western societies today, and they had a decimal system that closely resembled everything to our current civilizations. Also, the alphabet we know today was made primitively but almost identical to what is used today.
