Discover the artistic mastery of ancient Greek sculptor Alkamenes, renowned for his captivating depictions of gods. His Head of Ares, God of War, from the early 2nd century, showcases the fierce power and determination of the god. In contrast, his smaller statuette of Aesculapius, a copy after Phidias or Alkamenes' original, embodies the healing god's serene and compassionate nature. Alkamenes' influence extends to Roman civilization, as seen in the Roman copies of his Herm of Hermes, each one representing both faces of Hermes Propylaios - the god of transitions and thresholds, depicted with a calm, thoughtful expression on one side and a playful, mischievous grin on the other. The Ares Borghese statue, a Roman copy attributed to Alkamenes, further highlights his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of mythological figures in marble.
