AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Professional academic sculpture, entirely handmade by professional artisans. A piece from a museum plaster cast collection. The craft has very ancient origins and is carried out by artists in the sculpture field, made with materials such as scagliola and Carrara marble powder.
Antinoo (circa 110-130 AD), a young man of extraordinary beauty from Bithynia, was the companion of Emperor Hadrian, with whom he formed a deep bond. He tragically died by drowning in the Nile, an event that led Hadrian to deify him, establish a cult in his honor, and found the city of Antinopolis. Antinoo became a symbol of ideal beauty and immortality, celebrated through statues and monuments depicting him with divine traits, blending Greek, Roman, and Egyptian influences.
