EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning marble statue, titled "Statue of Sciarra Amazon," is a captivating representation of ancient Greek mythology and Roman art. Dating back to the 2nd century AD, this Roman copy is believed to have been made from a Greek bronze original that originated in the 5th century BC. The statue is currently housed at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among visitors. The Amazon depicted in this sculpture is a powerful and idealized warrior woman, dressed in armor and holding a spear. The Amazonians were a legendary all-female tribe from Greek mythology, known for their fierce independence and warrior culture. This statue is a testament to the enduring influence of Greek mythology on Roman civilization. The intricate details of the statue's marble surface reveal the skill and artistry of the Roman craftsmen who created this copy. The Amazon's muscular form and confident posture convey a sense of strength and determination, while her serene expression suggests a deep sense of inner peace. The statue's age and historical significance make it a valuable addition to the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek's impressive collection of ancient art. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Greece and Rome, and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of these ancient civilizations on European art and history.
