Bust of Menander in the Getty Villa, July 2008


Bust of Menander
Roman, 100-150 AD
Marble
Inventory # 71.AA.120
Comedies by the Greek playwright Menander (342-291 BC) continued to be popular well into Roman times. This portrait bust was modeled after a Greek bronze sculpted by Kephisodotos the Younger and his brother Timarchos (both active 340-290 BC). Shortly after Menander's death the original statue was erected in the Theater of Dionysos in Athens as a commemorative monument.
