Pergamon
"Gauls/Galatians"?
from a monument on the acropolis at Pergamon. Various
images.
|
|

The
"dying Gaul" is a Hellenistic work, made to be seen from all
sides. If this is the "front" view, what of the head?
|

Another
view. Note the "trumpet" on the base, which is probably a
restoration.
|

Shoulders
and head; note torc.
|
|

Face
and head -- note unGreek elements in facial hair and hair;
pathos.
|

"Frontal"
view? of a group meant to be seen from at least three
sides.
|

2
oblique views.
|
|

Detail
of the man.
|

View
of the side with the woman.
|
|
|

A
plaster cast of the original pieces (mainly). The small
figure of a child is added in a conjectural
reconstruction.
|

A
reconstruction drawing combining the suicide group with the
trumpeter, seen from above. Likelihood?
|

An
even stranger reconstruction drawing adding children.
