Tyche of Antioch in the Yale University Art Gallery, October 2013
Roman copy of an original by: Eutychides, Greek, active ca. 295 BC
Tyche of Antioch
ca. 1st-2nd century A.D.
Bronze, hollow cast; originally inlaid with silver at eyes; base cast separately and attached
15 x 8.4 x 7.7 cm (5 7/8 x 3 5/16 x 3 1/16 in.)
Leonard C. Hanna, Jr., Class of 1913, Fund
1986.65.1
This bronze statuette of the Roman period is modeled on one of the most influential statues of antiquity—the Tyche of Antioch by Eutychides, created in about 300 B.C. Tyche, the personification of Fortune, was held in great esteem in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Cities throughout the Graeco-Roman world attempted to improve their own fortunes by celebrating Tyche as a civic deity. Tyche is usually represented in art as a female figure, wearing a mural crown. Sometimes identifying attributes, such as landscape features, were incorporated into a particular city’s image of Tyche. Judging by surviving copies, Eutychides’s Tyche of Antioch was shown seated on a rock, with a personification of the river Orontes at her feet. It is unclear whether Yale’s statuette originally included the figure of Orontes.
Culture: Roman, after a Greek original
Classification: Sculpture
