Berlin Adorant, Ancient bronze statue in Altes Museum, Germany
The Berlin Adorant is a 128-centimeter-tall bronze statue depicting a naked young man with raised arms in a standing position.
Originally discovered on Rhodes Island during city wall construction in the late 1400s, the statue arrived in Venice in 1503 missing arms and legs.
The sculpture represents the technical excellence of Hellenistic art from 300 BCE, attributed to the school of master sculptor Lysippos.
Visitors can examine this ancient artwork in the permanent collection of the Altes Museum in Berlin, where it returned in 1958.
The statue's arms were added in the 17th century by order of Nicolas Fouquet, King Louis XIV's superintendent of finances.
