Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : « Torse du Belvédère », assis sur une peau de panthère. Ier siècle avant notre ère (?). Marbre, H. 1,59 m. Ce fragment colossal comporte de nombreuses traces de réparations effectuées dans l'Antiquité. Ancienne interprétation : il s'agirait d'« Ajax » d'après le bronze, H. 29 cm. de la collection George Ortiz : [1]. Autres interprétations, plus plausibles, en s'appuyant sur des thèmes antiques : Achille jouant de la cythare (ce motif existe sous la forme d'une intaille au département des Monnaies, médailles et antiques, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris : [2]) ou bien il s'agirait d'Héraclès ivre (Héraclès violentant Augé, bas-relief. Augé est la fille du roi de Tégée, Aléos ; elle en aurait conçu Télèphe). Référence : François Queyrel, 2016, p. 274. Musée Pio Clementino du Vatican.
English: “Belvedere Torso”, sitting on a panther skin. 1st century BCE (?). Marble, H. 1.59 m. This colossal fragment bears numerous traces of repairs carried out in antiquity. Old interpretation: it would be "Ajax" after the bronze, H. 29 cm., from the George Ortiz collection: [3]. Other interpretations, more plausible, based on ancient themes: Achilles playing the cythera (this motif exists in the form of an intaglio in the Department of Coins, Medals and Antiquities, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris: [4]) or it would be Heracles drunk (Heracles beating Auge, bas-relief). Auge is the daughter of the king of Tegea, Aléos ; she would have conceived Telephus because of this rape. Reference: François Queyrel, 2016, p. 274. Vatican Pio Clementino Museum.
