3D modely ARTBust of an Aged Roman at The State Hermitage Museum, St PetersburgTitle Bust of an Aged Roman Artist Unknown, Roman Date Late 1st century B.C. Medium Marble Dimensions Height, 31 cm Accession # P-3169 This excellent piece dates to the late Republican or early Imperial Roman period (late 1st century BC) and is representative of Verism, the essence of which is the desire to create the maximum portrait likeness, without idealization, at times naturalistically catching unique peculiarities of a particular face. It is the individual features which are of interest to the Roman artist. It was the man who lived for the good of his family and of Rome who would be an example to be emulated by his descendants. Such small busts were usually attached to stone pillars or hermae and placed in tombs. The good state of preservation of this piece allows us to suggest that the portrait of an elderly Roman was intended for his burial vault. The portrait is known as "portrait of an agrarian", since it shows a Roman of the Republican period, a man who lived modestly, took personal charge of his household and knew all the finer details of rural economy. Such a man, sober and thrifty in his everyday life, would be brave in times of danger and merciless towards his country's enemies. These were the citizens who, according to Roman tradition, were the cornerstones of the power and might of the state. náhodný výběr modelů
