Which statues to see at Pompeii?
Faun of Pompeii
The ‘Faun of Pompeii’ is one of the most iconic statues in the ancient city. It depicts a young fawn caught in mid-dance. The exquisite work of art is made of white marble and exhibits remarkable detail: the sculptor perfectly captures the faun’s graceful posture and the playful expression on his face. It is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the early Romans.
Dancing Faun
‘Dancing Faun’ is an equally remarkable statue in Pompeii. Like the Faun of Pompeii, it portrays a faun dancing euphorically, celebrating life and joy. The sculpture, like the Faun of Pompeii, was carved from marble and beautifully captures the sculptor's expertise
Venus Genetrix
A classic representation of Venus, the goddess of love, ‘Venus Genetrix’ is a beautiful marble sculpture that mirrors the beauty, graceful pose, and flowing drapery of the goddess. It reflects the Roman fascination with Greek aesthetics.
Eumachia Statue
Priestess Eumachia was a prominent figure in Pompeii. She helped construct Macellum, a market building and played a key role in the economic and religious life of the ancient city. The statue was perhaps erected to signify her civic contributions.
Hermes Statue
Hermes Statue was discovered in the House of the Faun in Pompeii. Dedicated to the Greek god of travel, trade, and communication, the statue is a testament to ancient Rome’s multicultural influences where beliefs and artistic traditions converged.
Diana of Pompeii
Crafted from marble, the ‘Diana of Pompeii’ is dedicated to Diana, the goddess of the hunt. It captures the ethereal beauty and strength of the goddess and shows her in a classical contrapposto stance, holding a bow and a quiver of arrows.
