The Ludovisi “Suicidal Gaul” and his wife
From 1981 to 2002, in various lectures and writings, I presented my suggestion about the “Roman” conception of the Ludovisi Suicidal Gaul, without eliciting positive responses. What has prompted me to re-open this issue after the passing of so many years? Perhaps the catalyst was a major exhibition — Pergamon and the Hellenistic Kingdoms of the Ancient World — held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York from April 18 to July 17, 2016, toge…
The Porticello Bronzes Once Again
Approximately 20 fragments of bronze statuary were recovered in the 1970s from a wreck off the coast of Cala bria near the village of Porticello, but only one of these pieces, the long-bearded head of an elderly man (PI), has attracted scholarly attention because of its pronounced realism.A second male head (P2) was smuggled abroad almost immediately upon recovery.It had remained un known until it was returned to Italy from Basel, Switzerland, in…
Renovatio/Continuatio in Greek times
Four “test-cases” are being proposed, to raise issues of continuity and renovation in Greek sculpture. The first involves the use of pre-existing carved metopes on a later temple, at Foce del Sele, with a consequent discrepancy of styles – as on the Arch of Constantine. The second case views the bronze head recovered from the Porticello wreck as a “Philosopher ante litteram” in type but definitely not to be considered a portrait. The third case d…
The Boy Strangling the Goose
Kunze has suggested that Hellenistic sculpture depicting themes of everyday activities that are traditionally classified as genre subjects may carry very different meanings. This note argues that, in Graeco-Roman terms, the chubby personage in depictions of the Boy Strangling the Goose is not simply a child but the personification of Dionysos/Harpokrates; the goose is not a household pet but an evil spirit over which the Divine Child triumphs. Th…

Le Laocoon dans la sculpture hellénistique
Le titre de ma communication peut se comprendre de trois manières : 1 / le Laocoon comme thème de la sculpture hellénistique ; 2 / le Laocoon (entendu comme le groupe existant) et sa situation dans la sculpture hellénistique ; 3 / le Laocoon du Vatican et son influence sur des créations de la sculpture hellénistique. La première interprétation peut être rapidement traitée, car le sujet est très rare dans la sculpture. La deuxième dépend de la dat…

An Issue of Methodology
Standard assumptions about the portrait of Anakreon known through works of the Roman period are here reviewed in light of all available evidence. Pausanias's mention of a statue of the Ionic poet on the Athenian Akropolis has led to extensive conjectures about Anakreon's relationship to Perikles' family and the message such a monument was meant to convey. The possibility is raised that the known portrait was created later than ca. 440, and, more …

Birds, "Meniskoi," and Head Attributes in Archaic Greece
Research on metal attachments in Archaic sculpture leads to the conclusion that the "meniskoi" mentioned by Aristophanes as protection against the birds may be a pun or allusion, the meaning of which escapes us today. Spikes and attachment holes on the heads of kouroi and korai should rather be seen in the light of some examples on marble sphinxes, where traces of paint and other devices indicate specific meanings for the metal bars. It is argued…

Ancient Greek Women and Art
Ancient Greek women and their relationship to the visual arts are here discussed solely on the evidence of the extant monuments, rather than on the information of the literary sources. Although this review makes no attempt to be complete, several forms of the relationship are explored. The most important is that of women as sponsors of architectural projects; second is that of women as dedicators of statues and other offerings. Finally, the objec…
