About the Item

Outstanding 19th century Italian finely carved Carrara "Statuario" marble sculpture of Antinoo , after the Antique The Capitoline 'Antinous'. Antinous, a young Bithinius favorite of the emperor Hadrian, who died at a young age in 130 AD. and then deified. The physiognomic peculiarities of the young man are known from the numerous sculptures and coin images spread throughout the Roman Empire. In death, as in life, Antinous’ appeal lay in his youth and beauty, and his face became one of the best known in the Roman world. The handsome, sensual features of this statue – with its round face, almond eyes, strong brows, full lips and thick, tousled hair – are found on many other representations from all over Hadrian’s empire. The original statue of a young nude male found at Hadrian's Villa, Tivoli. It was bought before 1733 by Alessandro Cardinal Albani. To contemporaries it seemed to be the real attraction of his collection.The statue was bought by Pope Clement XII in 1733 and went on to form the nucleus of the Capitoline Museums, Rome, where it remains. In the 18th century it was considered to be one of the most beautiful Roman copies of a Greek statue in the world.
