Summary
edit
| Description |
English: Boncompagni Ludovisi Collection.
Coarse-grained crystalline marble. The sculpture, dated to the 2nd Century AD, is thought to be based on a Greek original of the late 5th Century BC given the characteristics of the clothing. The prototype was very popular in ancient Rome, where it was copied, with numerous variants, to represent different goddesses (Aphrodite, Hera, Hyieia, Athena, Tyche) and for portrait statues. The gesture with outstretched arm - added during restoration -, as if to display a product of the earth, suggests that this is a statue of Demeter, the goddess who protected the crops. |
