Sculptuur van Lucius Verus in het Vaticaan 1850 - 1900

This photograph, taken between 1850 and 1900, depicts a marble sculpture of Lucius Verus, a Roman emperor who reigned alongside Marcus Aurelius from 161 to 169 AD. The sculpture is likely a Roman copy of an earlier Greek original, and its pose, with one arm raised and the other holding a cloak, is reminiscent of classical depictions of emperors as divine rulers. The photo provides a glimpse into the study of Roman art and its relationship to Greek tradition, while showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of the original sculpture.
