| 説明 | Found in Rome in 1894, in a private villa on via Boncampagni in the same region as the Ludovisi relief, in the area of the ancient Gardens of Sallust (the Ludovisi Quarter) on the Pincian Hill.The most satisfying interpretation of the enigmatic scene on the front panel of this three-sided marble relief casts Aphrodite, on the left, in her role as a goddess of fate. Her son Eros, the winged figure at center, holds a scale, whose crossbar (now missing) was made separately, probably out of metal, and attached into three slots cut in the stone. The weights of the scale, visible on either side of Eros, are sculpted with two young men whose hands are bound above their heads. At the right, the sorrowful female is Demeter, goddess of grain, who is identified by a pomegranate, an emblem of agricultural fertility. The three deities have gathered to determine for how long Demeter's daughter, Persephone, was obliged to stay in the Underworld with her abductor, Hades.collections.mfa.org/objects/151033/threesided-relief-with...It was purchased by Edward Perry Warren for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1896. |
