Vulca

Vulca was an Etruscan artist from the town of Veii. The

only Etruscan artist mentioned by ancient writers, he
worked for the last of the Roman kings, Tarquinius Su-
perbus. He is responsible for creating a terracotta statue
of Jupiter that was inside the Temple of Jupiter Optimus
Maximus on the Capitoline Hill, and possibly the Apollo
of Veii. His statue of Jupiter, which being made of ter-
racotta had a red face, was so famous that victorious Ro-
man generals would paint their faces red during their tri-
umphal marches through Rome. Pliny the Elder wrote
that his works were the nest images of deities of that
era...more admired than gold.[1]
