Description
English: Portrait of Ganymede. The antique head comes from a group representing the abduction of Ganymede by Zeus, a statuary type known by several copies of the entire group and by separate heads, like this one. Naked bust and pedestal are modern additions. Ganymede's pose reproduces (and reverses) that of the statue of Paris by Greek 4th century BC sculptor Euphranor (cf. Louvre Ma 4708). Roman artwork of the Imperial Era (2nd century CE), found in 1784 near the tomb of Caecilia Metella (south of Rome).
Français : Portrait de Ganymède. La tête, antique, provient d'un groupe représentant l'enlèvement de Ganymède par Zeus, un type connu par plusieurs copies entières et des têtes isolées comme celle-ci. Le buste nu et le piédouche sont des additions modernes. La pose de Ganymède reproduit en l'inversant celle de la statue de Pâris par le sculpteur grec Euphranor (cf. Louvre Ma 4708). Œuvre romaine d'époque impériale (IIe siècle de notre ère), découverte en 1784 près du tombeau de Cécilia Métella, au sud de Rome.
