Next up today is Room 23, Greek and Roman sculpture – the next room in our #MuseumOfTheFuture series. Rome’s conquest of Greece by the 1st century BC subjected Roman artistic taste to the influence of Greek style. Many of the sculptures on display in Room 23 are Roman versions of Greek originals. Roman copies, made from the 1st century BC to the 2nd century AD, often provide useful information on the appearance of ancient bronze sculptures that no longer exist.
One such marble statue on display in Room 23 may have been inspired by the famous lost Greek bronze of a 'diadoumenos' (athlete binding a victory ribbon around his head), originally created by the sculptor Polykleitos in the 5th century BC. The sculpture in the picture is Aphrodite, goddess of love, crouching at her bath and is a Roman copy of a Greek original (it's also known as Lely's Venus). In the background you can see the entrance to Room 10, flanked by Assyrian colossal human-headed winged bulls.
