AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Academic professional sculpture, completely handmade by professional artisans. A piece from a museum plaster workshop. The work has very ancient origins and is carried out by artists in the sculpture sector, made with materials such as scagliola and Carrara marble powder.
Antinous (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 died tragically by drowning in the Nile, an event that prompted Hadrian to deify him, establish a cult in his honor, and found the city of Antinopoli. Antinous became a symbol of ideal beauty and immortality, celebrated through statues and monuments that depict him with divine features, blending Greek, Roman, and Egyptian influences.
