Description
English: So-called “Belvedere Antinous”, actually a statue of Hermes of the Andros-Farnese type. The identification of Hermes is justified by the traveller's cloak, the bearing of the god and by comparison with copies found on graves, stressing Hermes's role as psychopompus (conductor of souls). Roman artwork, Hadrian's era, copy or a Greek bronze original of the 4th century BC.
Français : « Antinoüs du Belvédère », aussi appelé le Lantin, en fait une statue d'Hermès du type d'Andros-Farnèse. L'identification d'Hermès se fonde sur le manteau de voyageur porté sur l'épaule, la posture du dieu et par comparaison avec des copies trouvées dans des tombes, mettant l'accent sur le rôle de psychopompe (conducteur des âmes) d'Hermès. Copie romaine (époque d'Hadrien) d'un original grec en bronze du IVe siècle.
