Description:
|
|
Some of the finest temple terracottas come from the temple at Lo Scasato, Civita Castellana (Falerii), discovered in 1888. (Lo Scasato is the highest point in the town). These include figures modeled in the round at three-quarters life-size, large figures in relief, and fragments of small figures, presumably parts of antefixes. The most spectacular of these is the "Apollo", the head and torso of a nude youth (h. 560 mm; late 5th century BCE). The head is turned to the right and lifted. The broad face with its deep-set eyes, high cheekbones, strong jaw and half open mouth, is crowned by a mass of curly hair brushed up in the center above the forehead and falling loosely to the shoulders. The effect recalls portraits of Alexander the Great. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
