| 説明 | en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Antinous_(Delphi)Antinous: The deification of beautyIn 130 AD, Antinous, a youth from Bithynia famed for his beauty and beloved companion of the emperor Hadrian, drowned in the Nile when barely out of adolescence.One of Antinous' most beautiful cult statues was erected at Delphi, within the sanctuary, where, in 1894, it was discovered upright on its pedestal but broken at the knees, alongside the wall of a brick chamber behind the temple. On Roman coins minted in Antinous' honour, the representation of the statue is accompanied by the epithet “Propylaeus" meaning that it stood in front of the gate. It is, therefore, likely that the statue originally stood at the entrance to the sanctuary but later, after having lost its legs, was moved to a sort of chapel near the temple of Apollo, where it was found in excellent condition and still gleaming as if made of alabaster or porcelain thanks to the custom of the clay of polishing marble cult statues with special oil.The youth's head is tilted sideways in reflection; the thick hair falling on his forehead and cheeks gives the figure a mournful quality. Holes are visible in the hair where a bronze laurel wreath was attached. With its heroic, godlike nudity, the body aspired to approximate Classical athlete sculptures, but it lacks the inspiration of the models that Hadrianic classicism nostalgically pursued in its art.
