Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Funerary statue, Keratea (Attica/Greece). Marble, 580-560 BC. Although this sculpture became famous as the "Berlin Goddess" is probably does niot represent a divine being, Instead what we see is the funerary statue of a woman from a wealthy family appearing as the "bride of the god of the underworld, Hades". Her social status is emphasised by the magnificent bright red garment.
Deutsch: Grabstatue, Keratea (Attika/Griechenland). Marmor, 580-560 v. Chr. Obwohl diese Skulptur als "Berliner Göttin" berühmt wurde, stellt sie wahrscheinlich kein göttliches Wesen dar. Stattdessen sehen wir die Grabstatue einer Frau aus einer wohlhabenden Familie, die als "Braut des Gottes der Unterwelt, Hades" erscheint. Ihr gesellschaftlicher Status wird durch das prächtige knallrote Gewand betont.
