The experimental reconstruction of the bronze warriors of Riace as part of the Frankfurt “Liebieghaus Polychromy Research Project”
The contribution describes the experimental reconstruction of the two bronze warriors discovered in 1972 in the sea a few meters off the coast of Riace. The Frankfurt project intends to contribute to the question of the production process, but also to the interpretation of these famous sculptures. O...

Nous décrivons ici la reconstitution expérimentale de deux guerriers en bronze découverts dans la mer en 1972, près du rivage de Riace. Les travaux entrepris à Francfort tentent de contribuer au débat sur les procédés de fabrication de ces célèbres statues, mais aussi sur leur interprétation. Une réplique grandeur nature en bronze a pu être fondue à partir d’une numérisation en 3D. La reproduction des yeux, des cils, des lèvres, des dents et des mamelons, primitivement en pierre et incrustations de cuivre et d’argent, complétée par une patine hypothétique et une peinture à l’huile de lin et au bitume, fournit une base de réflexion sur l’aspect original des bronzes. Un examen méticuleux des traces matérielles décelables sur les têtes des guerriers a permis de reconstituer les deux coiffes disparues, et d’étayer solidement l’identification des personnages. |
