Lot 566 | Statue des "Antinous"
Bronze, dunkel patiniert. Alter Gießerstempel der Kunstgießerei Lauchhammer (Monogramm "LR" mit Grafenkrone). Großer, fein gestalteter Guss nach der weltberühmten griechischen Bronzeplastik, wohl Darstellung des Antinous (Geliebter des römischen Kaisers Hadrian), die um 300 v. Chr. entstand und sich heute in der Antikensammlung in Berlin befindet. Die Bronzestatue des Antinous ist das berühmteste Stück aus der ehemaligen Antikensammlung König Friedrich II. von Preußen, der sie 1747 erwarb und an exponierter Stelle auf der Weinbergterrasse des Schlosses Sanssouci in einem Gitterpavillon aufstellen ließ. Vom Schreibtisch seiner Bibliothek hatte er diese stets im Blick. Die im 18. Jahrhundert als Antinous bezeichnete Bronzestatue kaufte Friedrich II. vermutlich aus persönlichen Motiven zum Andenken an seinen Jugendfreund Hans Hermann von Katte. H. 131 cm.
Dark patinated bronze. Old Lauchhammer foundry mark (monogram "LR" with count's crown).
