Große Statue des Sophokles
Bronze, goldbraun patiniert bzw. vergoldet. Im Detail fein ausgeführter Guss des 19. Jhs. mit vollplastischer Darstellung nach der berühmten, antiken, 204 cm hohen Marmorskulptur in den Vatikanischen Museen (bzw. im Lateranmuseum). Die aus der 2. Hälfte des 1. Jh. v. Chr. stammende Marmorstatue entstand nach einem griechischen Bronzevorbild des 4. Jh. v. Chr. und wurde in den 1830er Jahren bei Terracina in den Ruinen einer römischen Villa gefunden. Die vorbildgebende Bronze war einst in den dreißiger Jahren des 4. Jhs. v. Chr. im Dionysostheater von Athen aufgestellt worden. Der Tragödiendichter Sophokles ist als Redner dargestellt und trägt einen den ganzen Körper verhüllenden Mantel, was dem Verhaltenscodex äußerster Zurückhaltung und des Vermeidens von Gestikulieren entsprach. Am Beispiel des Sophokles sollten den athenischen Bürgern auch allgemeine Bürgertugenden wie Selbstbeherrschung als Ideale vorgegeben werden. H. 89 cm.
Golden brown patinated or gilt bronze. 19th C. cast after the well-known Roman marble sculpture in the Lateran Museum in Rome.
