Abstract (english)
This paper presents results of an interdisciplinary investigation of a marble portrait head of Antinous in the San Antonio Museum of Art following the discovery of traces of gilding on the head’s ivy wreath in 2011. This study focused on understanding the relationship of the gilding to areas of purple coloration on the marble surface. Surface examination and laboratory analysis of samples suggest that the purple layer is composed of gold nanoparticles resulting from the deterioration of the gilding. In addition, our study has revealed previously undocumented aspects of ancient and post-excavation interventions on the head. Our combined analysis of the portrait’s polychrome effect, iconographic elements, marble type and various phases of alterations leads to a reconstruction of the head’s evolution from initial creation to its current appearance.
