About the Item

STELE - ALXENOR OF ORCOMENO - PLASTER COPY OF THE ATHENIAN ORIGINAL end 20th Century 1:1 plaster reproduction of the Stele of Aristion created by the sculptor Aristotle in Pentelic marble in about 510 BC. It was found in Velanideza near Marathon in Attica. Subject: It depicts an elderly man (perhaps a philosopher or a respectable citizen) wrapped in a himation (cloak), leaning on a knotted staff. With his right hand, he offers a grasshopper to his faithful dog, who leaps toward him. The man is leaning on a staff and offers a piece of food or a toy to his dog, who reaches out to him in an affectionate gesture. The elderly, bearded man, likely the deceased, wears a himation (a Greek cloak). Author: As indicated by the inscription on the base, the work is signed by Alxenor of Naxos, a sculptor from the Cyclades. Style: It represents a transition between the archaic and severe styles. It is famous for the way Alxenor managed to capture the depth and foreshortening of the male body within a relatively flat marble slab. Place of discovery: It was discovered in Orchomenus, Boeotia. Current location: It is housed at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens (Inventory Number: NAMA 39). The Alxenor Stele, also known as the Orchomenos Stele, is a famous funerary relief from ancient Greece, dated around 490-480 BC. The work is signed by the sculptor Alxenor of Naxos, as indicated by the inscription on the base. It is one of the finest examples of the mature or "Severe" Archaic style.
