About the Item
A portrait head of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, carved in Carrara marble, with deeply cut curls and detailed classical roman accents in the hair and in the shave; the carefully sculpted eyes with the pupil and iris clearly highlighted give the portrait a reflective attitude and character typical of the figure of Marcus Aurelius..
The sculpture stands on a two orders profiled specimen veined marble, knew as Fior di Pesco.
Marcus Aurelius was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 and, as a philosopher, the last significant representative of the younger Stoic movement. He called himself Marcus Aurelius Antonius Augustus. In the last decade of his life, he wrote the "Meditations," which presented him to posterity as a philosopher-emperor and are sometimes considered part of world literature.

Ancient Marble Portrait Bust of a Bearded Man possibly Lucius Verus
Located in London, GB
This impressive bust is depicted with head turned slightly to the right and gaze lifted. His eyes are articulated, with the pupils indicated with a drill, giving the face a striking realism. The shoulders are draped with a cloak. Straight brows sit beneath a mass of thickly curling hair, which continues to a full beard. It is worked with great skill, evident in the heavy drill work articulating and highlighting the voluminous curls, and the highly polished surfaces, giving the appearance of soft skin. The contrast between these textures gives a chiaroscuro affect which is one of the main traits of the best Antonine busts.
Roman marble portraits reached their apotheosis of craftmanship and technique under the Antonine emperors, as is evidenced in this masterful bust. The evolution of the style may be traced back to the emperor Hadrian, who was the first emperor to wear a full beard. The articulation of pupils and iris appears on busts of his lover Antinous, a novelty which continued in later Antonine portraits, such as this one. The features of this bust point to a possible identification of Emperor Lucius Verus...
