: • MINERVA + CLEOPATRA [or Aphrodite]: 2 busts in the Archaeological Gallery of MRT @museirealitorino https://museireali.beniculturali.it . - MINERVA Mid-2nd c. BC [acrolith] Pre-1566 [bust & helmet] Parian and Pentelic Marble [ From Rome-? ] Savoia Collection "The holes, used to add metal elements, suggest that the head was made in the 2nd century BC by Athenian sculptors working for the Roman nobility. The modern parts are attributed to Tommaso Della Porta the Elder, an artist mentioned by Vasari. The bust is listed in the 1631 inventory as being displayed on the back wall of the Grand Gallery." [©MRT] . - CLEOPATRA or APHRODITE Late 2nd c. BC [head] 2nd c. AD ? [bust] Parian and Pentelic Marble [ From Rome-? ] Carlo Emanuele I di Savoia Collection, 1583. "The bust, named Cleopatra for the Isis knot that was fashionable on clothing in Ptolemaic Egypt, is actually composed of two different ancient works. The face recalls the models of classical Athens, in particular those of Praxiteles; the hairstyle shows similarities with the statue of the Aphrodite of Capua type. The iconography of Ptolemaic queens was often close to that of Aphrodite : it is therefore possible to assume that the bust comes from Egypt, perhaps linked to the acquisition of the Gonzaga collection."
