The Porticello wreck (Reggio Calabria – Italy), found in 1969, is an extraordinary source of knowledge of Classical Greek bronze sculpture. The junction operations and compositional analysis of the fragments lead to at least two statues: an elderly male with himation and a young naked man. No fragment of the wreckage belongs to the third sculpture, namely the head from Basel. This paper provides a study of the Porticello bronzes as a whole through iconography and style. Such sculptures raise questions about Greek Classical art: how it develops and communicates with the viewer.

Abstract: | The Porticello wreck (Reggio Calabria – Italy), found in 1969, is an extraordinary source of knowledge of Classical Greek bronze sculpture. The junction operations and compositional analysis of the fragments lead to at least two statues: an elderly male with himation and a young naked man. No fragment of the wreckage belongs to the third sculpture, namely the head from Basel. This paper provides a study of the Porticello bronzes as a whole through iconography and style. Such sculptures raise questions about Greek Classical art: how it develops and communicates with the viewer. |
