Verified profile

The statue, reinstated with irrelevant parts according to a use in vogue in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, originally portrayed a young athlete transformed with the addition of the knot of curls on the forehead, an attribute of the divinity, in the image of the Greek god Dionysus. Similar alterations can also be seen in the other ancient statues in the gallery, aimed at making the subjects of the sculptures coincide with those of the general iconographic program of the sumptuous environment.
