Statua di giovane aristocratico

Romana

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 162

Questa statua di grandezza naturale fu rinvenuta nell’isola greca di Rodi, ricco e fiorente centro commerciale e culturale in età romana. Dal volto ampio e i capelli corti, il ragazzo ha le fattezze dei giovani principi della famiglia imperiale di Augusto, o piuttosto si trattava del figlio di un membro dell’aristocrazia al governo o di un importante ufficiale romano di stanza a Rodi. Al posto della tradizionale toga romana, il giovane indossa un mantello greco (himation), forse a indicare che frequentava una delle famose scuole di filosofia e retorica dell’isola.
