Bronze Head of a Man in the Getty Villa, June 2016
Title: Portrait of a Man
Artist/Maker: Unknown
Date: 1st century B.C.
Medium: Bronze
Dimensions: Object: 29.5 × 21.6 × 21.6 cm (11 5/8 × 8 1/2 × 8 1/2 in.)
Place: Asia Minor (Place Created)
Culture: Roman
Object Number: 73.AB.8
Alternate Titles: Head of a Man (Alternate Title)
Department: Antiquities
Classification: Sculpture
Object Type: Male portrait
This bronze head was broken from a full-length statue and probably depicts a prince or local ruler. The eyes of this statue were originally inlaid with contrasting materials, and the lips were inlaid with copper.
This head belongs to a type of portraiture depicting Hellenistic rulers that became popular in the wake of Alexander the Great. Designed as propaganda to legitimize the ruler and emphasize dynastic connections, these portraits were often highly idealized images of their subjects, with even features, thick hair, and smooth skin; they bear an intentional similarity to each other. Even with its idealized features, the statue gives off an aura of power and command, showing the Roman concern with expressing personality through portraiture.
