Bust of Antinous in Palazzo Altemps - a photo on Flickriver

"The sculpture is composed of an ancient fragment - the bust and the left and back part of the head - restored in the modern period as Antinous, the young Bithynian favourite of the emperor Hadrian who died in AD 130 and was subsequently deified. Antinous's distinctive features are known from the numerous sculptures and images on coins found throughout the Roman Empire. In the modern period, his iconography became familiar especially after the discovery of the ancient relief portraying him, found in 1735 at Hadrian's Villa and now in the Albani collection. The Ludovisi sculpture may date to this period, when depictions of Antinous were at their most popular."

The Palazzo Altemps in Rome is part of the Museo Nazionale Romano (National Roman Museums) and is used to display around 150 quality sculptures from antiquity. Highlights of the museum include the Altemps, Boncompagni Ludivisi, and Mattei collections such as the Ludovisi Gaul, the Ludovisi Throne, a seated Ares, exceptional sarcophagi, colossal heads, and magnificent further sculptures from antiquity that were restored to various degrees, especially in the baroque period. The museum is absolutely worth visiting and included in combination tickets with the Palazzo Massimo in Rome.
