	Etruscan Civilization - Search View - MSN Encarta
		Sethlans was the Etruscan counterpart of Vulcan; Fuflans, of Bacchus (as Dionysus was later known); and Turms, of Mercury.
		Many elements of Etruscan religion were embraced by the Romans, including the concepts of the cyclic return of the golden age and the rite of human sacrifice, which may have given rise to the gladiatorial games.
		Etruscan art was related to that of the Greeks (in both Greece and southern Italy) and to that of Egypt and Asia Minor.

		Etruscan art, which included painting, pottery, metalwork, and jewellery as well as sculpture, had a great influence on the development of later Western art.
		The Etruscans (an ancient people of central Italy) made finely carved terracotta coffins, and their tombs are often decorated with brightly coloured frescoes of scenes of everyday life.
		Etruscan terracotta coffins (sarcophagi), carved with reliefs and topped with portraits of the dead reclining on one elbow, were to influence the later Romans and early Christians.

	Italian And Etruscan Sculpture
		Terracotta was, however, the favorite material for sculpture throughout Central and Southern Italy from the sixth to the third centuries, and nowhere can the sculpturesque possibilities of this material be seen so well exhibited as in the history of sculpture in these early Italian schools.
		In the warrior figures on the stelae, in the winged lions or sphinxes in stone that guard the entrances, we trace Oriental traditions.
		Etruscan sculpture may be best studied in Italy at the Museo Civico of Bologna, the Museo Archeologico at Florence, the local museums of Volterra, Perugia, Corneto, and Chiusi, and at Rome in the Vatican and Papa Giulio Museums.

	Etruscan terracotta warriors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The three Etruscan terracotta warriors are art forgeries, statues made to resemble work of ancient Etruscans.
		The three warrior statues were first exhibited together in 1933.
		The museum was still not convinced until Etruscan experts realized that the statues had been built from pieces, instead of being fired as a single object, as Etruscans had done.

	TVM Entry Floor: Etruscan Art
		The Etruscans had an alphabet based on the Greek alphabet, an arts tradition, a religion based on human-type gods which was Greek in origin, and a complicated set of rituals for divining the future.
		Etruscans like the Egyptians, Greeks, and later the Romans, painted their statues, so what you see in a museum is not what a contemporary of the sculptor would have seen.
		Terracotta sculpture is much cheaper to produce than cutting marble or other stone and at that time it was the only way of producing large sculpture.

	Etruscans - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Etruscans
		Etruscan kings first ruled in Rome, and their civilization was the basis for the Roman world, which later took on the Etruscan skills in government, art, and medicine.
		The Etruscan government was a close aristocracy and was confined to the family of the Lucumones who combined civil with religious functions.
		Hiero I of Syracuse defeated the Etruscans in a naval battle at Cumae 474.

	The Case of the Etruscan Terracotta Warriors in the Metropolitan Museum of Art
		The “old warrior” (he had a white beard and was emaciated, somewhat like, as one observer commented later, a Giacommetti sculpture) was soon followed by a massive four-foot tall terra cotta warrior’s head, and there was even talk of a greater treasure waiting to be found...
		The warrior is missing his right arm for the simple reason that the two forgers could not agree on how to position the arm, so they compromised by breaking it off and discarding it.
		Attempts to erase doubts that were already being whispered in art circles in Europe, as well as the hope that the “secret” field they had been found in might be divulged by their “discoverers”, delayed the publication of a scholarly monograph on the three figures until 1937.

	[No title]
		The study of Etruscan history has not been done in any large quantity, much because of the fact that that there is not a large amount of resources containing usefull information, contrary to the case with Greek and Roman civilizations not many texts has survived from antiquity.
		The first Etruscan city to be conquered by the Romans was Veii in 396 B.C. and by the end of the 3rd century B.C Rome had conquered all of the Etruscan cities.
		The Etruscan´s used an army which was gathered from the citizens who were not paid and did not consist of "professional" warriors apart from some basic millitary training that often only the rich received.

		The abstract origins of Etruscan portraiture are now being recognized in some striking busts of sheet bronze, the heads of which are spheres decorated only with geometric patterns, and which were sometimes completed with bronze hands.
		Etruscan Hellenistic chronology is even murkier than the Greek, but many scholars are now dealing with tomb groups in which urns, mirrors, vases and coins may serve to fix their art in time.

	Etruscan Sculpture
		When the Etruscan religion was bought into closer contact with the Hellenistic religion we begin to see the first pieces of “Mythological sculpture”, however many of these seem to be but an echo of the Greek mythology, transcripting scenes that seemed to the Etruscans suitable to illustrate the life, death, and future of their dead.
		Terracotta was used instead of stone or marble in many places during much of the afor mentioned period for the temple sculptures.
		ARCHAIC ETRUSCAN style, in all its primitive crudeness and beautifull simplicity and realism is the only period when Etruscan art has little ouside influences (Carthage and Greek), though many perceive traces of the lingering of Oriental and the more frequent incoming of Greek wares.

		There can be little doubt, however, that many of the principal characters and stories of Greek mythology already existed, and that they simply had not yet received explicit visual form.
		Surviving material shows a mastery of the major media—turning, decorating, and firing terracotta vases; casting and coldworking bronze; engraving gems; and working gold.
		The only significant medium that had not yet evolved was that of monumental stone sculpture—large-scale cult images most likely were constructed of a perishable material such as wood.

		Between 1915 and 1921 the Metropolitan Museum of Art purchased three extraordinary ancient Etruscan terra cotta warriors...
		The warriors were, in fact, fakes, carried out on a grand, almost "mythic" scale, and even as the ink dried on the checks, doubts were being whispered in art circles in Europe.
		In 1959, when a visiting Italian scholar was offered a chance to see the statues and commented that he did not need to see them since he knew the man who had made them, the authorities at the museum decided something had to be done.
