Description
English: Old Centaur teased by Eros. Roman copy (1st–2nd centuries AD) of a Greek original of the 2nd century BC. Marble, found in Rome in the 17th century, belonged to the Borghese collections. A grey-black marble statue of the same type was found in the Villa Adriana in Tivoli together with a grey-black marble Young Centaur laughing at Eros's wounds. The pair, now shown in the Capitoline Museums, bear the signature of Aristeas and Papias of Aphrodisias, a city in Asia Minor. It can surmised that the Louvre statue was an element from a pair as well.
Français : Centaure chevauché par l'amour. Copie romaine d'époque impérial (Ier–IIe siècle ap. J.-C.) d'un original grec du IIe siècle av. J.-C. Marbre, découvert à Rome au XVIIe siècle, ancienne collection Borghèse. Une statue du même type en marbre gris-noir a été trouvée à la villa Adriana en même temps qu'un Jeune Centaure se riant des blessures d'Éros, également en marbre gris-noir. On peut supposer que l'exemplaire du Louvre faisait également partie d'une paire.
