Sculpture, Testa di Era - 70 cm - Wax

Wax model of Hera’s head – The majesty of the queen of the gods

This refined wax model, 70 cm tall, 30 cm wide and 20 cm deep, represents the head of Hera, the sovereign of Olympus, with an imposing and solemn presence. Every detail of the sculpture expresses power, pride, and regal bearing, faithfully capturing the essence of the Greek goddess with extraordinary mastery.

Hera’s face is carved with noble, symmetric features, a broad forehead that conveys intelligence and wisdom, pronounced cheekbones, and a mouth with full lips pressed into an expression of dignity and resolve. The eyes, slightly lowered, seem to look beyond time, lending the sculpture an aura of mystery and grandeur.

On the head, a finely molded diadem blends with the hair gathered into an elaborate coiffure, evoking her position as the undisputed queen of the gods. The wax, worked with precision, renders softness to the hair’s waves and the subtle shading that gives depth to the face.

This wax model is more than a simple preparatory study: it is a work of art that captures the charm and mythic strength of Hera, perfect for collectors, lovers of classical art, and students of myth. Wax, a living and responsive material, gives the sculpture an almost ethereal quality, making it a unique and evocative piece, ideal for enriching a private collection or a display space dedicated to the timeless beauty of Greek mythology.
