Marble Torso of a Boy Greek statue sculpture
Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art
Date: 5th century B.C.
Period: Classical
Many marble statues that survive from antiquity are copies made during the Roman period of
works created by Greek artists some five hundred years earlier. Our Torso of a Boy sculpture, a 1st
or 2nd century Roman copy of a Greek original (425–400 B.C.), exemplifies the high Classical style
developed in Athens during the second half of the fifth century B.C.—a period generally considered
the peak of artistic accomplishment, and during which the Parthenon and most of the other
famous buildings on the Athenian Acropolis were built and decorated. Our Torso of a Boy is
reproduced from the Roman copy in the Museum's collection.
Item No. S140
Cast marble, hand patinated. Height including base 23 in., width 13 in., depth 9 in.
$895.00
