Medallón con retrato de Genadio

Romano

Not on view

Esta vívida imagen de un joven educado de la poderosa ciudad portuaria de Alejandría está trazada con un buril fino sobre pan de oro aplicado al vidrio de color azul oscuro. Es probable que el medallón, hecho para ser montado y usado como colgante, celebre el éxito del retratado en un certamen musical, ya que la inscripción en griego dice: GENADIO, MUY DOTADO PARA EL ARTE MUSICAL.
