Description:
|
|
Also known as the Via Tiburtina sarcophagus, from the location of its discovery, from a tomb near the Porta Tiburtina. Discovered in 1621 and named for its first modern owner, Ludovico Ludovisi. At the beginning of the 3rd century the excesses of the Antonine stylistic shift, the elongation of figures, giant scale and overcrowding, were abandoned for more conventional proportions and somewhat less mobile forms. This was rapidly followed, up to the middle of the century, by a heightening of expressive mobility in figures and detail (flame-style hair, for example). As in portrait sculpture, a Classical trend was dominant between AD 250 and 280. The barbarians in the work are usually identified as Goths.
