Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Boncompagni Ludovisi Collection. Formerly in Palazzo Venezia and in Palazzo Barberini.
Medium-grained marble with gold patina. This portrait represents an authoritative young man with his head turned to the right. He wears a lorica and a fringe-bordered paludamentum, held on the right shoulder by a fibula. The fibula is in the shape of a disc and has floral pattern added in the 17th Century. The bottom part of the bust has a horizontal cut and the marble surface looked reworked. The man's hair is curly, with bangs on his wrinkled forehead, and his curls, very voluminous on the temples, reach the nape, leaving his ears free. His eyes have well-outlined and carved pupils, and wide eyebrows. His bushy moustache looks reworked, and his beard, made of short curls, covers the cheeks, the chin and the upper part of the neck. The sculpture can be dated to the period of the Emperor Gallienus, from the style of the portrait and the peculiar style of the beard on the neck. The statue can be compared with images of the Emperor Gallienus (AD 258-268) on Roman coins, which became iconographic models for private portraits in that period. |
