EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite marble sculpture depicts Antinous (110-130 AD), a young Greek man renowned for his extraordinary beauty who became the favorite of Emperor Hadrian. The statue, a masterpiece of Roman art, was discovered in Perugia, Umbria, Italy, and is now housed in the National Archaeological Museum of Umbria. Antinous was deified by Hadrian after his untimely death, and his cult spread throughout the Roman Empire. The statue represents Antinous in a round, free-standing form, with a naturalistic and idealized portrayal of the figure. Antinous is often depicted wearing shoes and holding a cornucopia, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. The statue's intricate details and lifelike quality showcase the advanced techniques of Roman sculpture. The background of the statue is adorned with grapes and vines, reflecting the importance of viniculture and wine production in ancient times. Antinous' mythological significance and timeless beauty continue to captivate art enthusiasts and historians alike, making this sculpture a must-see for anyone interested in ancient art, mythology, and the history of the Romans.
