拍品描述 翻译
Roman, the Levant, late Imperial Period, ca. 3rd to 5th century CE. A fascinating stone mosaic depicting a full-length youth gripping a spear with both hands and motioning toward his left with bent legs and his shoulders leaning in as his large eyes peer in that same direction - suggesting that the target of his gaze is also the target of his spear. Above is an oversized grapevine and a Greek inscription with leafy tendrils in the field. The inscription translates, "Stephaios" referring to his name - a variation of Stephanos meaning "wreath" or "crown" - the type awarded after an athletic victory and commonly used as a name. In this context, it may mean that this fellow is "worthy of a crown." Size: mosaic measures ~ 29" W x 29" H (73.7 cm x 73.7 cm); 30.25" W x 30.25" H (76.8 cm x 76.8 cm) including plaster matrix and metal frameThe athletic young man wears a colorful tunic of grey, red, black, and white stone tesserae. His body is nicely modeled in peach, red, white, taupe, and yellow tesserae, with a sharp black outline. The artist went to great lengths to depict the volumes of the figure's flesh and even details like his Adam's apple, his curly auburn coiffure, dewy skin, and the light in his eyes.Mosaics (opus tesellatum) are some of our most enduring images from the Roman world, exciting not only for their aesthetic beauty, but also because they reveal what Romans chose to depict and see every day decorating their private and public spaces. In the Roman province of Syria, which encompassed most of the ancient Near East/Levant, mosaics developed as a popular art form relatively late, with most finds coming from the 3rd century CE or later. Syria was one of Rome's wealthiest provinces, but it was also far removed from Rome itself and Roman culture was overlaid on enduring cultural traditions from Hellenistic Greece and the great civilizations that came before it. Antioch-on-the-Orontes (modern day Antakya, Turkey), was the capital of northern Roman Syria, and its excavations in the 1930s revealed more than three hundred mosaic pavements - of which many embellished public baths. Popular mosaic themes from this region were often mythological or religious scenes, depicting gods and goddesses. This example, featuring a large grapevine, was probably set in a room with a bacchanalian theme referencing Bacchus, god of the fruit of the vine, winemaking, theatre, and revery.
