About the Item

A Plaster Figure of the Capitoline Flora, 19th Century Description: The plaster figure after the so called ‘Capitoline Flora’, considered by Winckelmann to be one of the most beautiful statues in all of Rome. Dating from the Hadrianic period (117 – 138 CE) the original is widely believed to represent Flora - the goddess of Spring and flowers - due to the floral wreath in her hair. Other theories however cite the figure as possibly representing the Empress Sabina, the muse of poetry Polyhymnia, or more simply a personification of the Season. The youthful female stands in contrapposto, her weight resting upon her left leg while her right is gently bent, her figure draped in a flowing chiton and mantle, her left hand clasping a bunch of flowers and her right held outward with the palm facing upward, her hair arranged in typical Roman style and adorned by a wreath of flowers, the whole raised atop a stepped metal base. Provenance: Private Australian Collection. Dimensions: Height: 173cm. Width: 76cm. Depth: 50cm.
