"Orantes: Ancient Statues from South Italy": June 22 - December 1, 2013

Orante Figure, 4th - 3rd Century B.C.

     "The Worcester Art Museum has in its collection two Greek statues of the Orante type from Canosa, Magna Graecia, dating to the 3rd BCE. In addition, a third one from a private collection is on loan to the Museum. After a recent multi-year conservation, restoration and technical study campaign these half-life-sized statues, which have never been shown together before, will be featured in the Jeppson Idea Lab from June through November of 2013. Objects conservator Paula Artal- Isbrand is project coordinator of this exhibition. These rare statues of women in various gestures of praying or mourning were discovered arranged in small groups of four to six in ancient burial chambers in Southern Italy. Less than 100 in existence world-wide (only 9 in the USA) they have received the attention of specialists only in the last couple of decades. An exhibition of this material has never been organized anywhere." -worcesterart.org
