Aratos 18th century

This 18th-century marble bust, likely created by an anonymous artist, depicts Aratos, a Greek statesman and general. The bust, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), showcases the artist's skill in capturing the subject's likeness through meticulous detail, especially in the rendering of Aratos's facial features and beard. The inscription "APATOC" on the base further identifies the subject. The bust serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Greek history and its impact on art throughout the ages.
