Rock of Ages jumps out as an obvious one for me.
Apotheon comes to mind.
This is what I would suggest. Very unique art style and still memorable all these years later.
I had no idea this existed and I can’t believe I never heard of it when it’s so unique! Is it actually a good game, too?
It has been quite a while since I played it, but I remember it being pretty good but with a combat system that takes some getting used to.
The style I suspect that you’re thinking of, if you’re talking about the stuff on pottery, is one of:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-figure_pottery
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-figure_pottery
That, or maybe something like Roman frescoes or mosaics:

One area of The Talos Principle is set in Greco-Roman ruins. It captues a very specific tone. The puzzles are fun too
Any of the Joe Richardson games are obvious picks.
