This stunning marble statue depicts the Greek goddess Artemis, Latin counterpart Diana, majestically standing alongside a deer, now housed in the National Roman Museum, Rome. Created by Roman artisans as a replica (circa 1st or 2nd century AD) of an original lost Greek bronze attributed to the skilled sculptor Leochares, circa 325 BC, this masterpiece showcases the transformative power of art as it evolves. The artworks displayed on both the ground floor and first floor provide a poignant testament to the progressive assimilation and imitation by Roman artists of their esteemed Greek counterparts.
