Description:
|
|
Found in 1790 in Villa Adriana (Hadrian's Villa), acquired by the Vatican under Pius VI, restored (nose and hair) by an unidentified sculptor and exhibited in the newly opened Sala Rotonda where it became rapidly famous. After the invasion of Italy by French troops, the bust was seized by order of General Bonaparte and later returned to the Vatican in 1816. Antinous was Hadrian's favorite who drowned in the waters of the Nile in 130 CE and was immediately made a god by the Emperor. Nearly 100 sculptured portraits have survived; a number surpassed only by the portraits of the emperors Augustus and Hadrian. This is of the 'Ur-Antinous' type; closest to a presumed, if idealized, portrait. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
