Statua di uomo

ca. mid-2nd-1st century BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 162
Statue onorifiche come questa raffiguravano solitamente ritratti di personaggi di spicco dedicate dalla città-stato o dal sovrano in segno di gratitudine per imprese valorose. Si trattava della massima onorificenza che la città potesse offrire. Questa imponente figura si staglia in posizione chiastica: una gamba ne sostiene il peso, consentendo all’altra gamba di flettersi. La mano destra fuoriesce dalle pieghe del manto con il palmo aperto e le dita leggermente piegate e protese in un gesto oratorio, mentre il braccio sinistro ricade lungo il corpo. Il manto è riccamente drappeggiato, ornato con eleganti nappe e fasce orizzontali, che forse in origine erano dipinte o dorate.
