Start Over Object name Terminal bust (reproduction) Collection place Rome (modern city), Lazio, Central Italy
Image Missing: Hearst Museum object titled Terminal bust (reproduction), accession number 21-34, described as Cast of terminal bust of Oceanus. The name does not altogether fit the bust, which personifies a southern sea of vineclad shores. From a marble found near Pozzuoli, Italy. Vatican Museum. Sold to Clement XIV by Gavin Familton. Compare Friederichs-Wolters 1544. The horns resemble those of river gods.
Image Missing: Hearst Museum object titled Terminal bust (reproduction), accession number 21-37, described as Cast of terminal bust of “Aspasia.” It is the portrait of a Greek matron. IV Century BC type. Vatican Museum. There mated with the foregoing Perikles, and named Aspasia with no valid reason.
Hearst Museum object titled Terminal bust (reproduction), accession number 21-25, described as Cast of terminal bust of a bearded Dionysos. From a marble in Villa Albani. The collection of the Villa Albani was hermetically closed in 1901-1902. Malpieri apparently confused this Dionysis with the larger ones on Villa Borghese. A similar bust in the University Museum (marble) is from the old stock of the same Villa Borghese Collection, not placed on exhibition there. Malpieri’s statement seems wrong.
Hearst Museum object titled Terminal bust (reproduction), accession number 21-31, described as Cast of terminal bust of Hephaistos (Hephaestus). From a marble found on Piazza di Spagna, Rome. Vatican Museum. Friederichs-Wolters 1541 published by Brunn Annali 1863. Monuments VI, plate 81.
Hearst Museum object titled Terminal bust (reproduction), accession number 21-36, described as Cast of terminal bust of Perikles, of certain identity, guaranteed by the antique inscription of a counterpart herma in the British Museum. Compare Visconti’s Iconographic greique plate 15. The signature, by Kresilas of Crete, of a portrait of P. on the Akropolis, is extant. Modern opinion sees copies of Kresilas’s work in the Vatican and London busts. Compare Furtwaengler’s Kresilas in his Masterpieces of Greek sculpture.
Image Missing: Hearst Museum object titled Terminal bust (reproduction), accession number 21-26, described as Cast of a terminal bust of a woman, called Saffo. This is the usual female head often coupled with Dionysos: Ariadne. From a marble which Malpieri said he moulded in Villa Albani, but it is not the familiar “Saffo” of that collection. Gherardi’s cast works list a Villa Albani “Saffo” 52 cm. high (no. 123), maybe in Villa Borghese. Original of Gherardi’s no. 123 was found at Villa Quintili on the Appian way.
