| Description |
English:
Statue of Thetis with a triton. Thasian marble, Roman copy from a Greek original of the 2nd century BC. A recent reconstruction identifies the statue as a part of the sculptural group by Skopas of Thetis giving her son Achilles new weapons described by Pliny. According to this theory, the statue known as “Ludovisi Ares” would actually represent Achilles.
Français :
Statue de Thétis avec un triton. Marbre de Thasos, copie romaine d'un original grec du IIe siècle av. J.-C. Une reconstruction récente voit dans la statue un élément du groupe de Scopas représentant Thétis donnant ses armes à Achille, décrit par Pline. Dans ce cas, l'Arès Ludovisi serait identifié comme Achille.
