Many marble statues that survive from antiquity are copies made during the Roman period of works created by Greek artists some five hundred years earlier. Our Torso of a Boy sculpture, a 1st or 2nd century Roman copy of a Greek original (425-400 B.C.), exemplifies the high Classical style developed in Athens during the second half of the fifth century B.C.-a period generally considered the peak of artistic accomplishment, and during which the Parthenon and most of the other famous buildings on the Athenian Acropolis were built and decorated. Our Torso of a Boy is reproduced from the Roman copy in the Museum’s collection.
