EDITORS COMMENTS
This bust depicts Antinous, a Bithynian youth and a favored figure in the Roman Empire during the 2nd century AD. Antinous was the beloved companion of Emperor Hadrian, and after his mysterious drowning in the Nile River at the young age of around 20, he was deified by Hadrian and worshipped as a god. The exact nature of Antinous' divine status in the Roman pantheon remains uncertain, but his cult spread rapidly throughout the Roman Empire, particularly in Italy and Europe. This exquisite marble bust, dating from approximately 130 AD, is now housed in the Glyptothek in Munich, Germany. It provides a glimpse into the character and personality of Antinous, who was often portrayed as an androgynous figure with feminine features, reflecting the cultural ideals of the time. The intricately carved details of the bust reveal the exceptional skill of the ancient Roman sculptors, showcasing the artistic achievements of the civilization that produced them. Antinous' story is a fascinating glimpse into the history and mythology of the ancient Roman world, and this bust serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring influence of the Roman Empire on European art and culture. The bust's preservation in the Glyptothek allows modern viewers to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of this ancient work of art, and to ponder the mysteries of Antinous' life and legacy.
