    We’ll move beyond the highlights and look at the deeper narrative: from Cycladic idols through Classical and Hellenistic Greece, to Etruscan and Roman art, watching how these forms migrate into Renaissance masterpieces. The journey reaches its most politically charged moments in the canvases of Eugène Delacroix and Théodore Géricault, where the cold perfection of the ancient Republic collides with raw depictions of human struggle, loss, and national hope.
