Statua di Amazzone ferita

1st–2nd century CE

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 153

L’arte greca spesso raffigura le Amazzoni in atto di combattere contro eroi della mitologia quali Eracle, Achille o Teseo. Questa statua rappresenta una guerriera che ha perso le proprie armi e sanguina da una ferita al di sotto del seno destro. Abbigliata con un chitone aperto su una spalla, in vita porta una cintura improvvisata con una briglia del proprio cavallo. Nonostante la condizione grave, dal viso dell’amazzone non trapela alcun segno di dolore o stanchezza. Si appoggia appena a una colonna con il braccio elegantemente posato sul capo: un gesto usato spesso per suggerire il sonno o la morte.
