Description:
|
|
From the former Farnese collection, this bust of Hadrian shows him wearing the Greek chlamys (cloak) to emphasize his love for Greek culture. It was normally pinned with a fibula at the right shoulder, as it is here. It continued to be worn, in a longer form, by emperors into the Byzantine period. Hadrian's portrait busts transformed the style of Roman sculpture, creating a taste for fluid forms and ornately curled beards and hair which reached its apogee under the Antonines.
