The Ephesian Artemis could be admired there\u00a0as well, as testified by a witness, the scholar Carlo Gastone della Torre di Rezzonico, who wrote in the18th century \u201c&#8230;in a large room, where many young men were painting porcelain, I admired [&#8230;] an Ephesian Diana, namely the multi-breasted Nature, the most beautiful of all; the hands, the feet and the head are in bronze; the body, so full of animals and symbols, is made of alabaster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u00a0is\u00a0likely\u00a0that the sculptor and ceramist Filippo Tagliolini, the master\u00a0of the <em>Real <\/em><em>fabbrica<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>Ferdinandea<\/em>, saw\u00a0it\u00a0there.\u00a0In the biscuit exhibited\u00a0as a preview at the Museum, the goddess is accompanied by three offering figures, including a winged genius. Similar variations are frequent in the production of the Royal Manufactory of Naples, often inspired by ancient sculptures and artefacts, both those from the Farnese collection and from the excavations of Herculaneum and Pompeii.<\/p>\n<p>The Ephesian Artemis statue, in alabaster, belongs to the first 16th century\u2019s\u00a0core of the Farnese collection, arrived in Naples from Rome by sea in the last decades of the 18th century, as part of the heritage passed on to Charles of Bourbon from his mother Elizabeth Farnese.<\/p>\n<p>Before being transferred to Naples, the\u00a0sculptures of the collection underwent a general restoration. For this occasion, the sculptor Giuseppe Valadier created the missing head, feet, and hands for the Artemis in painted bronze. The latter, damaged during the French occupation, were reinstated in 1805, upon the Farnese Collection&#8217;s transfer to the <em>Nuovo Museo <\/em><em>dei<\/em><em> Vecchi Studi<\/em> in Naples, which would have become today\u2019s MANN.<\/p>\n<p>The sculpture belongs to a group of numerous replicas, dating to the 2nd century AD, of the cult statue from the temple of Artemis at\u00a0Ephesus, in present-day Turkey. The goddess wears a tight, stiff overdress, a kind of apron (<em>ependytes<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em>in Greek), decorated with animals, and a disc-shaped collar featuring winged female figures and zodiac symbols. Rounded elements arranged in multiple rows hang from the bust: traditionally identified as breasts, they are instead interpreted as the scrotums of bulls offered to the goddess. In the temple of Ephesus, the original image of the goddess, ruler of nature and guarantor of the cosmic order, was probably an archaic wooden sculpture (<em>xoanonin<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em>in Greek), adorned with clothes and jewels.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>19 December &#8211; 1 February<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":39943,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_just_events_all_day":true,"_just_events_start_date":"2026-04-13 00:00:00","_just_events_end_date":"2026-06-08 23:59:00","_just_events_link":""},"event_category":[72,74],"class_list":["post-39876","just_event","type-just_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_category-events","event_category-exhibitions","entry","has-media"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>MANN and Capodimonte.
