- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 2nd century CE. A nude torso of a male youth, finely carved from white marble, with exceptionally well-articulated fleshy contours and muscular passages as well as skillfully delineated knees, belly button, abdomen, genitals, and buttocks. On his back, the curve of the spinal column and cleft between his buttocks are finely rendered. Though a section from a larger statue, it is possible to discern that the left leg is slightly advanced, implying a contrapposto weight shift ever-so-slightly on the right leg and his left leg slightly shifted to the side raising his left hip just a tad. Notice also how the figure's pelvis and thorax tilt in opposite directions, presenting a rhythmic sense of motion that suggests lifelike energy in this figure. Such calculated poses intended to conjure human vitality in sculpture were inspired by the ancient Greek works of Polykleitos and became the model to which sculptors aspired in Graeco-Roman as well as later Western European art. Size: 17.5" H (44.4 cm); 21.75" H (55.2 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-Gorny & Mosch, auction #206 (June 20, 2012, lot 254); ex-private German collection, acquired in the 1980s
