Athenas in the Liebieghaus

October 20, 2022 by Henk Bekker

Two marble Athenas are amongst the top sculptures in the LIebieghaus Museum in Frankfurt

The most praised work from antiquity in the Liebieghaus Museum in Frankfurt is the Myron Athena (center) — a very well-preserved marble Roman copy made around the time of the birth of Christ after a bronze statue (since lost) by the Greek sculptor Myron (ca. 450 BC). A second Athena marble (left) is partly from around AD180 (torso, but with “supplementations of the Renaissance and Baroque”).
