Doryphoros Torso, 1st half of the 1st century A.D.

Basanite from the Wadi Hammamat, (h) 113 cm

Formerly in the collection of Cardinal d'Este. In the Villa Medici in Rome from the end of the 16th century. Entered the Uffizi Gallery in 1783

Despite being an extraordinarily hard stone that was extremely difficult to carve, basanite from Egypt's eastern desert enjoyed a certain popularity as a material for statues in the early imperial period because its bronzed hue lent itself admirably to reproducing the celebrated bronze masterpieces of the Classical era. It gave statues of rare perfection and outstanding quality, chiefly intended for the highest-ranking patrons of the time in consideration of their exorbitant cost, The Florence torso, in particular, is unanimously considered to be one of the most accurate and reliable reproductions of Polykleitos's Doryphoros (second half of the 5th century B.C.), capturing with rare sensitivity both the restrained power of the figure's muscular mass and the meticulous rendering of his anatomy
