Lot 4165 | Klassizistische Marmorstatue nach dem hochklassischen Vorbild der Aphrodite der Gärten, um 1800 - frühes 19. Jhdt.
Klassizistische Marmorstatue nach dem hochklassischen Vorbild der Aphrodite der Gärten, um 1800 - frühes 19. Jhdt.
Leicht unterlebensgroße, klassizistische Marmorstatue der Aphrodite nach dem Vorbild einer hochklassischen Skulptur des Alkamenes im Heiligtum der Aphrodite der Gärten. Die Skulptur des Alkamenes ist im späten 5. Jhdt. v. Chr. für das Heiligtum der Aphrodite am Fluss Ilissos in der Ebene von Athen geschaffen worden und nur aus Schriftquellen bekannt. Ein Fragment eines Oberkörpers aus dem Aphroditeheiligtum von Daphni nördlich von Athen wird als frühe Variation des Typs angesehen, der für zahlreiche Varianten einer "angelehnten Aphrodite" Vorbild war. Kopien aus römischer Zeit (u.a. im Museum von Heraklion und eine besonders gute Parallele zum vorliegenden Exemplar aus dem Louvre) geben eine genauere Vorstellung vom Typus. Charakteristisch sind der unverschleierte Kopf, die relativ hohe Stütze (Pfeiler oder Baum) unter dem leicht abgespreitzten linken Oberarm sowie die entblößte linke Schulter. Der rechte Arm ist angewinkelt. Das schräg nach vorne geschobene linke Bein kreuzt das rechte Standbein. Die Figur ist mit einem kunstvoll gefalteten, am Oberkörper gegürteten Chimation bekleidet. Haltung und Faltenwurf der vorliegenden Statue sind sehr eng an eine römische Kopie der hochklassischen Statue aus dem zweiten Viertel des 1. Jhdts. n. Chr. im Louvre angelehnt. Füße knapp oberhalb der Sprunggelenke abgebrochen. Die linke Hand mit dem vorderen Unterarm sowie der rechte Unterarm fehlen, gleichfalls der Kopf. Wohl bewusst als Torso geschaffen. Diverse leichte Bestoßungen. Oberfläche gründlich gereinigt. Modern auf schwarzem Steinsockel mit massivem Stahlstift montiert. Qualitativ ausgesprochen hochwertige Kopie eines bedeutenden hochklassischen Bildwerkes, das als Typus zahlreiche Werke der antiken Skulptur, Plastik und Kleinkunst inspiriert hat. Höhe ca. 108 cm (mit Sockel 135 cm), Breite ca. 54 cm, Tiefe ca. 30 cm.
Provenienz: Aus der Sammlung Dr. H. Lanz, München. Erworben in den 1980er Jahren aus einer französischen Privatsammlung in Antibes.
A Neoclassicistic marble statue based on the high-classical paradigm of the Aphrodite of the Gardens, circa 1800 - early 19th century
A Neoclassicistic marble statue based on the high-classical paradigm of the Aphrodite of the Gardens, circa 1800 - early 19th century
Slightly less than life-sized, neoclassicistic marble statue of Aphrodite based on a high classical sculpture of Alkamenes in the Sanctuary of Aphrodite in the gardens.
The sculpture of Alkamenes from the late 5th century B.C. was created for the sanctuary of Aphrodite on the Ilissos River in the plain of Athens and is only known from written sources. A fragment of an upper body from the Aphrodite sanctuary of Daphni, north of Athens, is considered to be an early variation of the type that was the model for numerous variants of a "leaning Aphrodite". Copies from Roman times (including those in the Heraklion Museum and a particularly good parallel to the present example from the Louvre) give a more precise idea of the type. Characteristic are the uncovered head, the relatively high support (pillar or tree) under the slightly splayed left upper arm and the exposed left shoulder. The right arm is bent. The left leg, pushed forward at an angle, crosses the right supporting leg. The figure is dressed in an artfully folded chimation belted to the upper body. The posture and folds of this statue are very close to a Roman copy from the second quarter of the 1st century A.D. of the high-classical statue kept in the Louvre. Feet broken off just above the hocks. The left hand with the front forearm and the right forearm are missing, as is the head. Various moderate chips. Probably deliberately created as a torso. Surface thoroughly cleaned. Recently mounted on a black stone base with a solid steel pin. Extremely high-quality copy of an important, high-classical work of art, which as a type has inspired numerous works of ancient sculpture and minor arts. Height ca. 108 cm (with base 135 cm), width ca. 54 cm, depth ca. 30 cm.
Provenance: From the collection of Dr. H. Lanz, Munich. Acquired in the 1980s from a French private collection in Antibes.
