Pentelic marble; height, 4 feet 10-1/4 inches. Restorations:--Nose, parts of band. The right leg appears to be ancient, but worked over. In the earliest publications (Cavalieri, &c.) the left arm is drawn as if restored. The statue is first known in the Villa Madama, near Rome (Cavalieri, _Ant. Stat. Urb. Romae Liber_, 1569, pl. 97). It was afterwards in the Farnese Gardens, in the Farnese Palace, and at Naples. Guattani, _Mem. Encicl._, V., pl. facing p. 83; Gerhard, _Ant. Bildwerke_, pl. 69, p. 311; Müller-Wieseler, _Denkmaeler_, I., pl. 31, fig. 136; Clarac, V., pl. 858 C, 2189 A; _Annali dell' Inst._, 1878, pl. A, p. 20 (Michaelis); Murray, I., pl. 9, p. 273; Rayet, _Monuments_, text to No. 30; Mitchell, p. 388; Wolters, No. 509; Mansell, No. 726. The Polycleitan origin of the Farnese statue is supported by Winckelmann (_Hist. de l'Art_, Bk. VI., chap. 2), Guattani (_loc. cit._), Newton (Rayet, _loc. cit._), Brunn (_Annali dell' Inst._, 1879, p. 218), Murray (_loc. cit._). [Sidenote: =502.=] Statuette copied from the Doryphoros of Polycleitos (?). Figure of youth having the arms broken off from the shoulders, and the legs from above the knees. The head is slightly bent forwards, and turned to the left of the figure. The left leg was advanced in front of the right leg. The figure, like a bronze statuette at Athens (_Mon. dell' Inst._, viii., pl. 53), which it nearly resembles, may perhaps be a modified rendering of the Doryphoros of Polycleitos. The Doryphoros (spear-bearer) was a figure of a nameless athlete, which carried a spear, and which was the Canon or typical model of later sculptors (see above). The type was first recognized by Friederichs in a statue from Pompeii, now in the Museum at Naples, and other copies have since been identified.--_Athens._ Marble; height, 9 inches. Unpublished. The principal examples of the type are:--(_a_) Figure at Naples (Friederichs, _Doryphoros des Polyclet_; Rayet, _Monuments_, I., No. 29; Overbeck, _Gr. Plast._, 3rd ed., I., fig. 84). (_b_) Relief from Argos (_Athenische Mittheilungen_, III., pl. 13; Mitchell, p. 386). (_c_) Bronze bust from Herculaneum, at Naples, found with a companion bust of an Amazon (Comparetti, _La Villa Ercolanese_, pl. 8, fig. 3). (_d_) Gem at Berlin (Overbeck, _Gr. Plast._, _loc. cit._). For other copies, see Michaelis, _Annali dell' Inst._, 1878, p. 6; Wolters, Nos. 506, 507. [Sidenote: =503.=] Head of Amazon, slightly inclined to the left and looking down, with an expression of pain on the face. The hair is parted in the middle, and drawn back over the ears to the back of the head, where it is gathered in a bunch. The sharp parallel lines in which it is worked suggest that the head is copied from a bronze original.
