Lot 591 | Terrakotta-Fragment,"Amor und Psyche". Griechisch, wohl Tarent, ca. 3. Jahrhundert v. Chr.
Die archäologische Verortung dieser Terrakotta-Figurengruppe kann laut des Thermolumineszenztests des QED Laboratoire in Aix-en-Provence (Ref. QED1150/BG-0503) auf das 3. Jahrhundert vor unserer Zeit festgesetzt werden. Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt die beiden Figuren als Sitzgruppe mit zarter Zugewandtheit. Die wohl teilweise entblößte Psyche zur Linken, die Beine zur Seite gesetzt, aber mit frontaler Ausrichtung von Oberkörper und Gesicht und zur Rechten die etwas kleinere Figur des Amor in ähnlicher Sitzhaltung, jedoch im Oberkörper rotiert, so dass die Komposition dynamisch und innig zugleich erscheint. Das ikonographisch sehr beliebte Sujet des Gottes der Liebe und der sterblichen Königstochter Psyche fand bereits in der Epoche des Hellenismus großen Anklang und behauptet diesen Stellenwert in der Bildenden Kunst zweifellos bis in das 19. Jahrhundert unserer Zeit hinein.
