| Description |
English: Portrait of a boy. Acquired in 1894. Marble of Carrara. H. 33 cm. Around 100 AD. The simple boy’s hairstyle was customarily used since the child portrait of Nero and well into the 2nd cent. AD. Even if the face seems to be expressing grief, this type of psychologising runs utterly counter the ancient conception of portraiture. The sculptor may have worked from a death mask moulded in the wax from the deceased child’s face. The original effect of the portrait would have been quite different to its present statedue to the added colour : the eyes in particular were once painted with pupils and eyelashes that would have given life and energy to the portrait. Reference : The Antikensammlung : Altes Museum , Neues Museum, Pergamon Museum. Agnes Schwarzmaier, Andreas Scholl and Martin Maischberger. Verlag Philipp von Zabern. 2016. p. 257-259. Roman Gallery, Altes Museum, Berlin, Germany. Complete indexed photo collection at WorldHistoryPics.com.
Français : Portrait d'un garçon. Acquis en 1894. Marbre de Carrare. H. 33 cm. Vers 100 après JC. Altes Museum, Berlin. La coiffure simple du garçon était habituellement utilisée depuis le portrait d'enfant de Néron et jusqu'au IIe siècle. . Même si le visage semble exprimer du chagrin, ce type de psychologisation va totalement à l’encontre de la conception ancienne du portrait. Le sculpteur a peut-être travaillé à partir d’un masque mortuaire moulé dans la cire du visage de l’enfant décédé. L'effet original du portrait aurait été très différent de son état actuel en raison de la couleur ajoutée : les yeux en particulier étaient autrefois peints avec des pupilles et des cils qui auraient donné vie et énergie au portrait.
