Estatua de una amazona herida

1st–2nd century CE

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 153

Las amazonas en lucha con Hércules, Aquiles, Teseo y otros héroes mitológicos eran un tema frecuente en el arte griego. Esta estatua representa a una guerrera que ha perdido sus armas y que sangra por una herida bajo el seno derecho. Su chitón, que deja un costado al descubierto, se sujeta a la cintura con un trozo de la brida de su caballo. A pesar de su angustiosa situación, el rostro de la amazona no refleja dolor ni fatiga. Se apoya apenas en un pilar, con el brazo derecho reposando sobre la cabeza, en un gesto que a menudo indica el sueño o la muerte.
