Identification uncertain but the figure must have some association with the sea and may be the Greek hero Protesilaos, who ignored an oracles warning that the first Greek to step on Trojan soil would be the first to die in battle. This statue might represent him descending from the ship ready to meet his fate.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Statue of a Wounded Warrior" dating back to the 2nd century AD. Carved from marble, this Roman masterpiece stands at an impressive height of 221 cm and is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The origins and identity of this enigmatic statue remain uncertain. It is believed to be a copy of a Greek bronze sculpture created around 460-450 B. C. , possibly representing the Greek hero Protesilaos. According to legend, Protesilaos ignored an oracle's warning that he would be the first Greek warrior to die if he stepped foot on Trojan soil. This statue could depict him descending from his ship, prepared to face his fateful destiny. Initially perceived as a wounded warrior falling backward, further examination revealed a meticulously carved wound in the right armpit. This discovery led experts to reinterpret it as a dying soldier and attribute its creation to renowned sculptor Kresilas. The exquisite craftsmanship displayed in this classical artwork evokes emotions ranging from admiration for its anatomical precision to contemplation about mortality and sacrifice. The intricate details captured by Bridgeman Images allow viewers worldwide to appreciate every nuance of this ancient marvel. As we gaze upon this naked figure, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic beauty but also of humanity's enduring fascination with mythology, history, and our eternal quest for meaning through art.
