Гермес и младенец Дионис

Гермес и младенец Дионис , также известный как Гермес из праксителей или Гермес Олимпии, - это древняя греческая скульптура Гермеса , а младенец Дионис, обнаруженный в 1877 году в руинах храма Геры, Олимпия , в Гресе. Он выставлен в археологическом музее Олимпии .

Это традиционно приписывается Praxiteles и датируется 4 -м веком до нашей эры, основанным на замечании греческого путешественника 2 -го века Паусания , и внес большой вклад в определение стиля праксителеана. Его атрибуция, однако, является объектом жестких противоречий среди художественных историков. ^{[ нужно разъяснения ]}^{[ Цитация необходима ]}

Скульптура вряд ли будет одной из знаменитых работ Praxiteles, так как не было идентифицировано ни одного ее повторения. Документальные данные, связанные с работой с Praxiteles, основано на прохождении упоминания во втором веке путешественника по н.э. Паусания .

Потеря

Участок Олимпии пострадал от землетрясения во время правления римского императора Диоклетиана в последние годы третьего века н.э., разрушая крышу храма Геры и погребения статуи в обломках.

Rediscovery

In 1874, the Greek state signed an agreement with Germany for an archaeological exploration of the Olympia site,^[1] which was first dug in the French Morea expedition of 1829. The German excavations in 1875 were led by Ernst Curtius. On 8 May 1877, in the temple of Hera, he uncovered the body (head, torso, legs, left arm) of a statue of a young man resting against a tree trunk covered by a mantle. Protected by the thick clay layer above it, it was in an exceptionally good state of preservation.

It took six more separate discoveries to uncover the rest of the statue as it is displayed today. Hermes is still missing his right forearm, two fingers of his left hand, both forearms below the elbow, the left foot and his penis, whilst Dionysus is missing his arms (except the right hand on Hermes's shoulder) and the end of his right foot. Much of the tree trunk and the plinth are also lost. However, an ancient base survives, made of a grey limestone block between two blocks of marble.

Technical considerations

The group is sculpted from a block of the best quality of Parian marble. Hermes measures 2.10/2.12 m, 3.70 m with the base. The right foot of Hermes is integral with a section of the base, which has undergone some adjustment in antiquity.

The face and torso of Hermes are striking for their highly polished, glowing surface, which John Boardman half-jokingly attributed to generations of temple workers.^[2] The back, by contrast, shows the marks of the rasp and chisel, and the rest of the sculpture is incompletely finished.

At the time of its discovery, the hair retained slight traces of cinnabar,^[3] a form of mercury sulfate with a red color, perhaps a preparation for gilding.^[4] Cinnabar tints are retained on the sandal straps of the original foot, with traces of gilding. The sandal also bears the motif of a Heraclean knot, which was probably extended in paint.
