Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | The so-called Flora Farnese is a colossal statue belonging to the Farnese Collection, now preserved in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (inv. 6409). It is a classicistic creation from the Roman era that refers to Greek prototypes of the 5th century. BC, but which dates back to the second century. A.D. for the belt knotted on the sides which was a Roman fashion of that era. Extraordinary is the yield of the harmonious and sinuous body covered by an almost transparent thin dress that adheres to it as if it were wet. The original statue represented Aphrodite, but was integrated in the nineteenth century in the head and in his left arm, interpreting it as Flora. Traditionally it is said that the statue was found in Rome at the Baths of Caracalla, which is not possible since there is a drawing by M. van Heemskerck (active in Rome between 1532 and 1536) which portrays it not yet restored, while the excavations at Baths of Caracalla began only in 1545. |
