ARTEMIS Braschi I. Closeup

• ARTEMIS Braschi I. Closeup:
Roman, Imperial Period, Mid-1st c. AD.
"The 'Artemis Braschi'... is not a reliable copy but is a new work which borrows from a number of Greek originals...
The Roman sculptor cited here the styles of different periods of Greek art and thus consciously produced an antiquated impression:
The decoration of the head and the upright body posture with the straight knees are reminiscent of Archaic art of the 6th c. BC.
The hair style with the stiff curls falling to the chest recall works of the late Archaic - early Classical period.
The head itself with its slight incline to the right is similar to depictions of the 5th c. BC.
Similar motifs of light robes with many folds flowing in the wind and simultaneously pressed on the body by a gust are to be found in Classical sculptures of about 400 BC.
They suggest that the goddess is floating down from on high."
