Peplophore

thingiverse

The Peplophore, a Roman replica crafted in the first half of the 4th century BCE, is a stunning example of ancient art. Discovered in Rome, this marble masterpiece now resides in the Musée du Cinquantenaire in Brussels, Belgium. Created with cutting-edge technology from AutoDesk, including ReMake and ReCap Pro, this digital recreation brings to life the figure of a young woman draped in the traditional peplos. The garment is carefully rendered, stapled at the shoulders and intricately pleated around her midsection, just as it would have been worn by ancient Greeks. This statue draws inspiration from the iconic figure of Eirènè, Peace, created by Cephisodote the Elder, a renowned artist and father to the celebrated sculptor Praxiteles. His work continues to influence artists today, making this Roman replica a testament to timeless beauty and artistic expression.
