Description:
|
|
The statue was found in 1627 in fragments at the Campus Martius, near Santa Maria Sopra Minerva. It probably represented Hygieia but was restored as an Athena by Alessandro Algardi to oblige his patron, Cardinal Ludovisi. (Although one of the cult titles of Athena was "Athena Hygieia" and both were portrayed with snakes.) The original parts (torso, lower body and snake) are marble; the restored elements (mainly head and aegis) are Carrara marble. It is also listed as a "Giustiniani type" after the Antonine period statue of Pallas Athena in the Vatican Museums. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
