A classical variant of the Corinth/Mocenigo goddess: Demeter/Kore or Athena?*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  27 September 2013

Abstract

This paper examines the fragment of a life-size marble statue of a goddess in the storerooms of the Acropolis Museum (inv. no. 13641). Both technical and stylistic considerations show that it is an original work of the mid 5th century B.C., issuing from the artistic milieu of the Parthenon. The figure was dressed in a chiton under a himation pinned on the right shoulder (diplax), following a sub-Archaic fashion current throughout the 5th century and recurrent in Archaising works of later periods. This dress is familiar from Attic red-figure vase-paintings, where it is donned by a number of deities, mainly female but male too (Apollo and Dionysos) and mortal women on festive occasions.

Apart from the Acropolis fragment, three statuary types in chiton and diplax are known from the 5th century: the Corinth/Mocenigo ‘Kore’, the Athena Albani and the Athena Hope/Farnese. The Acropolis fragment is compared to all three and found to be an independent creation, perhaps reflecting yet another large-scale prototype of the period. There follows a discussion of the iconographical type of all four figures and of the possibility that they are all Athenas, inspired by a version of the Athena Polias on the Acropolis.

Landwehr suggests that the Terme statue may have come from Greece because of the Greek origin of many of the ancient statues in Venice. The provenance of this figure, however, is the art market of Rome (owned by Sangiorgi, 1924), whence it was taken to Venice briefly, to be acquired by the Terme Museum in 1963: see de Lachenal, 359.

The identification of the Corinth/Mocenigo goddess with Kore on account of the torch fragments of Baiae is repeated in Beschi, no. 53.

41 Homann-Wedeking (210, fig. 4) also discusses the possibility that the feet belong to a male figure. According to Morrow, op. cit. (n. 3), 55–6, thin soles are characteristic of men's sandals in the second half of the 5th century B.C. Two prominent examples of male gods in himatia wearing strap less sandals with thin soles in the 5th and 4th century B.C. are the Dresden Zeus (Despinis, 137–42, pl. 106) and the Asklepios, Eleusis 50 (Adam, S., The Technique of Greek Sculpture in the Archaic and Classical Periods [Oxford 1966], pls. 50–1Google Scholar).
