Bust of Athena Cesarini

Introducing the Athena Cesarini sculpture, a stunning replica that captures the essence of classical artistry and rich historical significance. This exquisite piece pays homage to the original statue housed in the renowned Torlonia collection, showcased in 2021 at Villa Caffarella.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this sculpture features Athena gracefully cradling a cista, from which a snake emerges, symbolizing her son, Erichthonios. Born from the seed of Hephaistos, Erichthonios is revered as the ancestral figure of the Athenians, intertwining the sculpture with the foundational myths of Athens.

Dating back to approximately 420 BC, the original work was likely dedicated in a sanctuary dedicated to Hephaistos and Athena, possibly crafted by the esteemed sculptor Alkamenes for the temple in the Agora. Our replica is made from high-quality resin and finished with a stunning patina that mimics the beauty of marble and bronze, making it a perfect addition to any art collection or a captivating focal point in your home.

Embrace the timeless elegance and storied past of the Athena Cesarini sculpture, a piece that not only enhances your decor but also serves as a conversation starter about the rich mythology and artistry of ancient Greece.
