Antinous as Osiris Brass Statue Details Description:
This Antinous as Osiris brass statue incorporates artistic elements from ancient Egypt and Greece, showcasing the young Antinos appearing in the image of the god Osiris. Antinos was a favored youth of Roman Emperor Hadrian, and his sudden death caused Hadrian deep grief and prompted him to deify Antinos, endowing him with a divinity similar to that of Osiris. In the Antinous as Osiris, Antinos is depicted with the demeanor of Osiris, wearing a typical Egyptian-style divine robe, with a soft and sacred face, reflecting the solemnity and mystery of ancient Egyptian deities. This combination of ancient Greek aesthetics and Egyptian mythology showcases the worship of deified youth idols and their religious beliefs during the Hadrian era, while also reflecting the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures.
