Statue d'un jeune aristocrate

Romain

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 162

Cette statue grandeur nature a été mise au jour sur l’île grecque de Rhodes, centre culturel et commercial prospère à l’époque romaine. Le garçon au large visage et aux cheveux courts ressemble aux membres de la famille impériale d’Auguste, mais il pourrait s’agir aussi du fils d’un membre de l’élite régnante ou d’un haut fonctionnaire romain en poste à Rhodes. Il ne porte pas la toge romaine traditionnelle mais un himation (manteau) grec, ce qui pourrait indiquer la fréquentation d’une des célèbres écoles de philosophie et de rhétorique de l’île.
