History
The statue was created as a funerary sculpture and placed in the tomb of a youth (hence the imagery of Hermes, a chthonic god) around the second century AD. It is either a copy of a statue of the fourth century BC, or heavily repeating that style.Шаблон:Sfn It was discovered in a small town called Atalante, after which it took its name, in Central Greece and was moved to Athens in the 1860s.
Description
Hermes of Atalanta is preserved nearly intact, missing only the fingers of his left hand and the index finger of his right hand. It is over lifesize at 190 cm, and made of Pentelic marble.
Hermes/the youth stands in contrapposto, supporting most of his weight on his left foot, while his right leg is relaxed.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn He bears a chlamys draped over his left shoulder and wound over his arm, then falling on his back and hanging on the tree-trunk support, so that Hermes is mostly naked.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Hermes's left arm is bent at the elbow, while his right one hangs freely at his side.Шаблон:Sfn He would have held objects in both hands, neither of which survive; his left hand probably held a caduceus, Hermes's most recognisable symbol, while his right a pouch.Шаблон:Sfn
His head has thick and tousled short locks of hair, and it slightly turned to his right.Шаблон:Sfn Although it was produced in the second century AD, it has some clear Lysippean characteristics, meaning it was either deliberately made in that style, or it is a copy of a fourth century BC statue.Шаблон:Sfn It has some common characteristics with similar statues of Hermes found in Andros (Hermes of Andros) and Aegium (Hermes of Aegium), only this one has been described as precise but also harsh and formal, lacking the naturalness, delicacy and grace of that of the one from Andros, though superior to the one from Aegium.Шаблон:Sfn
