Right [pic 1]: Statue of a Woman From Classe, Ravenna, Excavation in the harbour area 1 AD. "Headless statue of a woman with a tunic [chiton] and a mantle [hymation].

DANCING MAENADS: 2 Large Marble Frieze Reliefs H89 X W165 cm each, Roman "The female figures are faithful copies of the models created at the end of the 5th c. BC by the Greek sculptor Callimachus. Some, such as the maenad holding a basket full of fruit and the one screaming disheveledly brandishing two torches and with her arms wrapped in snakes, are however not typical of the Dionysian thiasos but refer to the iconography of an offering bearer or a Hora [season] and that of an Erinyes [personification of revenge especially towards those who attack one's family], themes that adapt to a funerary context."

2 MAENADS | 'Relief With Two Maenads': Roman frieze dating 1st-half of the 1st c. AD Based on a Greek model from the end of 5 BC. H 41cm X W 44 cm Pentelic Marble

Musei Reali Torino, Turin | MRT [Museum of Antiquities, Archaeological Gallery, Room 2] • Web: https://museireali.beniculturali.it/en • FB: https://www.facebook.com/museirealitorino • IG: @ museirealitorino

"This relief was originally put above one of the fireplaces in the Grand Gallery of Charles Emmanuel I of Savoy. In 1724, Scipione Maffei moved it to the Regio Museo di Antichità. This iconography of maenads dancing in Dionysiac ecstasy is commonly attributed to Callimachus, Athenian sculptor of the late 5th c. BC [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callimachus_(sculptor) ]. The theme became extremely popular in Rome, mainly between the 2nd c. BC and the Augustan Age, and was widely used for the decoration of sarcophagi and marble or terracotta furniture". [ ©MRT ]
