Beloved of Hadrian

This is a lovely image of the Farnese Antinous which is currently in the National Archeological Museum in Naples.  It is called the Antinous Farnese because of its prior location at the entrance of the Carracci Gallery in the Palazzo Farnese in Rome.  The statue was one of the myriads which were produced after the young man's death and deification in October, 130 CE.  He had been the beloved of the emperor for probably six years and the mythos of the young god was that he had laid down his earthly life as a sacrifice to the Olympians to save the life of his lover Hadrian.  The emperor in gratitude founded the city of Antinopolis at the site of the death and ordered the inclusion of Antinous into the ranks of the gods.

Four Naked Men

This is a reproduction of "Four Naked Men" of about 1505 by Pietro Perugino.  This is a reproduction of an iconic image of four near naked men in contrasting poses, curving and angular.  The artist was probably from Perugia in Umbria and was probably about fifty-five years old when he created this work.  He was at the height of his career at this time maintaining studios in Perugia and Florence while also receiving commissions in Rome.  He was rivaled in his later years by Michelangelo and his pupil, Raphael.  He died of the plague in 1523 in Fontignano, a frazione of Perugia.  This High Renaissance masterpiece is 52 cm wide and 71 cm high and is in the National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh.
