Hearst Museum object titled Plaster cast, accession number 21-113, described as Cast of Athena Lemnia restored by Aldenhoven in accordance with Professor Furtwaengler. From the antique marble in the Royal Sculpture Gallery of Dresden, supplemented by its own head as preserved in the Museo Civico of Bologna. Dresden, Bologna, and Cologne in the Wallrath-Richarts Museum. Consult, on this brilliant effort in constructive archaeology, Furtwaegler’s Masterpieves of Greek Sculpture, Section Phidias. the torsos (for there are two) were recognized as copies of a statue by Phidias by Puchstein. The head passed in Bologna for an Attic Youth, and Professor Kekule clings to that interpretation, rejecting its pertinence to the Athena. Athenian colonists of Lemnos dedicated the statue in 448/447 BC. The rematch (Location column) was done by Professor Adolf Furtwaengler. The restoration follows an intaglio of the bare head, with a helmet set in the field as a key to the identity of the goddess, and a rf. painting of the goddess with spear and helmet. See, for a variant, a small carnelian of our own collection. “Centralstelle fiu Gipsabgusse.”CG. makes a specialty of fine bronzing, and of readaptations of casts in closer conformity with their lost Greek originals--by removal of stumps, etc. He also has a strong selection of molds from mediaeval and Renaissance works.
