拍品描述
1st-2nd century AD. An over life-size composition head of a frowning elderly male with a thick beard broad facial features with large nose, sunken eyes beneath prominent eyebrow arches, mouth slightly open and surrounded by thick moustache, the long beard made up of curly tufts the curly hair covered with a hat or a cap formed of knotted bands (strophion) with voluminous strands falling over the ears to the back of the neck the smoothed part of the herm, hidden by the hairs of the beard directed towards the centre of the head, creating a chiaroscuro effect mounted on a custom-made display stand. See Becatti, G., s. v., Pitagora, in Enciclopedia dell?Arte Antica Classica e Orientale, vol. VI, Roma, 1965, pp. 197-199 Picozzi, M.G.,?I ritratti dal mare della Meloria al Museo Archeologico di Firenze: fusioni in bronzo da marmi romani,? in Rivista dell?Istituto Nazionale di Archeologia e Storia dell?Arte, s. III, XVIII, 1995, pp.118-120 Di Cesare, R., ?Ritratti di intellettuali tra mondo greco e romano,? in La Rocca, E., Parisi Presicce, C., Lo Monaco, A., Ritratti. Le tante facce del potere, Roma Musei Capitolini 10 marzo- 25 settembre 2011, Roma, 2011, pp. 93-107 Mastronuzzi, G., ?Immagini di poeti e filosofi della Magna Grecia,? in Quaderni di ?Atene e Roma?, Pubblicazione dell?Associazione Italiana di Cultura Classica, 5 Capasso, M., Cinque incontri sulla Cultura Classica, Lecce, 2015, pp.55-70. 36.5 kg, 52cm including stand (20 1/2"). From an important English collection accompanied by an academic report by Dr Laura Maria Vigna this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10748-177458. The hair and the untidy beard reproduce the typical image of a philosopher/ writer as conceived in the Greek and Roman world, although the head portrayed is difficult to identify it possibly represents Pythagoras, Homer or Sophocles. The probable bronze archetypes for this sculpture are the works of great Greek sculptors dating from the 5th-3rd century BC, which are found replicated in marble and bronze in the form of house furnishings.

condition:Fair condition, with restorations.
