Spanish school of the early twentieth century. Following Greek models (440 BC). Vatican Museum. Rome "Amazona Mattei". Sculpture in plaster, with terracotta patina. It presents some cracks, restorations and faults. Measurements: 143 x 45 x 32 cm. This is a version in terracotta patinated plaster of the Amazona Mattei preserved in the Vatican Museum. There are several Roman copies of three types of statues from the classical period representing Amazons wounded in combat, and are reproductions of three lost bronze originals from Ephesus: Experts attribute the "Mattei type" (the one we show) to Phidias, but with regard to the "Sciarra" and "Sosicles" types, it is not known for sure which is the work of Polyclitus and which of Cressilas. The three statues have short chiton and hair up, reminiscent of the long-haired hairstyles of the ladies of the Greek high society, while the bodies and well exercised seem to emulate that of male warriors and athletes. The face of the Amazon Mattei and her dynamic posture reflect determination and courage, the feminine strength that characterizes mythological Amazons. The chiton, hanging from her shoulder, exposes her left breast where she shows a wound. In 440 BC the priests of the temple of Artemis convened a contest to create the official presentation of Amazona in which they determine three types of canons: Wounded Amazon of Berlin, the Mattei Amazon (Vatican Museum) and the wounded Amazon of the Capitol.
