Life-size Roman Bust Statue, 20th Century
About the Item
A life-size hand carved 20th century Roman Torso. The torso is carved from weathered statutory marble on a travertine base.
One of the most striking objects on display in the Mary and Michael Jaharis Galleries of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Art at the Art Institute of Chicago is, for me anyway, this sculpted marble torso of an unknown Roman Emperor. It is all the more intriguing given that the decoration on the sculpture is so detailed and yet we do not know which Emperor it represents.
Other than that, very little else is known about the sculpture and where it came from. Portrait sculptures of Emperors and statesmen such as this one would have been quite common in cities and towns throughout the Roman Empire, placed in the streets and on public monuments for all to see.
