Description:
|
The Roman sarcophagus shows variants on the story of Hippolytus, who was killed after rejecting the advances of Phaedra, his stepmother, the second wife of Theseus. Instead of shown in a chariot, Hippolytus is shown here on a single horse, accompanied by Artemis and being attacked by a wild boar. Nicola Pisano studied this and other Roman and Greek works in the Camposanto, making direct quotations from them in his pulpit for the Pisa Baptistery. In particular the figure of Phaedra was used in his rendering of the Virgin Mary. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
