About the Item

The image shows a Neoclassical ceramic bust of Antinoo (Antinous), a celebrated figure from classical antiquity. This particular bust, dating from the 1950s, is crafted in a white ceramic with a crackled finish, giving it an aged and textured appearance. The styling and features capture the classical beauty and idealized form typical of Neoclassical representations, echoing the aesthetics of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture. Antinoo was known for his association with Emperor Hadrian and has been a popular subject in art, symbolizing beauty and youth. The bust portrays a calm, downward gaze and finely detailed hair, which is styled in soft, curled locks. The ceramic finish, along with the crackling, adds a sense of vintage charm, enhancing its classical look while retaining a distinctly mid-century Italian art style. The combination of historical influence with mid-20th century craftsmanship gives this piece a unique collectible appeal.
