Sculpture, Busto di Antinoo - 27 cm - marble powder

A professional academic sculpture, made entirely by hand by skilled artisans. A piece worthy of a museum plaster cast collection. This craft has very ancient origins and is practiced by artists specializing in sculpture, using 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 shared a profound bond. He died tragically by drowning in the Nile, an event that led Hadrian to deify him, establish a cult in his honor, and found the city of Antinoöpolis. Antinous became a symbol of ideal beauty and immortality, celebrated through statues and monuments depicting him with divine features and blending Greek, Roman, and Egyptian influences.
