EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning marble bust, depicting the ancient Greek god Zeus, dates back to the late 2nd century AD. Discovered in Rome, this exquisite sculpture is now proudly displayed at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark. Zeus, also known as Jupiter in Roman mythology, is the king of the gods and the god of the sky and thunder. He is often depicted with long, flowing hair and a curly beard, which are beautifully rendered in this sculpture. The traces of red pigment in the hair and beard suggest that the statue was once vividly painted, adding to its grandeur and majesty. The serene expression on Zeus's face conveys his wisdom and power, while the intricate details of his muscular physique highlight his strength and virility. The god's head is crowned with a radiate aureole, symbolizing his divine status and his role as the ruler of the universe. This magnificent bust offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of ancient civilizations, transporting us back in time to the mythological world of gods and goddesses. The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek Museum in Copenhagen is home to an impressive collection of ancient sculptures, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in art and history.
