厄洛斯睡像

古希腊或古罗马

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 164

希腊化时代的艺术从主题到风格发展都呈现出丰富的多样性。这一时代的艺术家是天才创新者，他们在视觉形像中引入了对不同年纪的准确刻画。小孩的形象尤其受到青睐，不管是以婴儿时期的赫拉克勒斯或厄洛斯等神话形式呈现，还是以彼此玩耍或与宠物玩耍的风俗场景形式呈现。这里的厄洛斯（即爱神）已被带到地上并解除了武器，其构思与古风时期希腊诗歌中描绘的那个强大、时常很残忍而且反复无常的形象判若两人。从古代流传下来的为数不多的青铜雕像中，这尊据信来自罗得岛的人像传达出一种直接而自然的细节刻画，因使用了青铜这种材料而成为可能。
