Antinous was a young man of great beauty, favored and presumably the lover of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Many of his portraits have been preserved to this day. From the Renaissance to the present, Antinous has been widely represented in art, especially in sculpture, and his enigmatic figure has captured the attention of numerous artists.

These sculptures and busts representing Antinous, the favorite of Emperor Hadrian, have come down to us as some of the most iconic works of Roman art. Antinous was a young man whose extraordinary beauty fascinated Emperor Hadrian, who made him his favorite. After his death in the Nile in 130 AD, the emperor deified him, decreeing his worship throughout the empire.

The sculptures made of Antinous are noted for their serene classical perfection, showing the young man with harmonious features of Greek influence. These sculptures, placed in temples, monuments, and gardens, reflected the beauty of the young man, idealizing his forms according to the Hellenic style.

Statues and busts of Antinous have become elements that have continued to inspire subsequent generations of artists with their extraordinary beauty and historical significance.

Historical figures like Antinous have inspired numerous works of art from Classical Antiquity to the present day. This Antinous sculpture lamp can serve to illuminate a special corner of a room, creating an intimate atmosphere in spaces like the library, office, or living room, and accompanying special moments of relaxation.
