    Vulca was an Etruscan artist from the town of Veii who worked for the last Roman king, Tarquinius Superbus. He is renowned for creating a terracotta statue of Jupiter that was inside the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, and possibly the Apollo of Veii statue. His statue of Jupiter was so famous that Roman generals would paint their faces red during triumphal marches, and Pliny the Elder praised his works as the finest images of deities from that era.

    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]
