Description
“Belvedere Antinous”, actually a statue of Hermes of the Andros-Farnese type. The identification of Hermes is justified by the traveller’s cloak, the bearing of the god and by comparison with copies found on graves, stressing Hermes’s role as psychopompus (conductor of souls).
Roman artwork, Hadrian’s era, copy or a Greek bronze original of the 4th century BC.
