Hera Borghese

It was excavated (alongside many other statues) from a large Roman villa near Monte Calvo[2] in 1824–26.

The villa belonged C. Brutius Presens who was a prominent figure during the reign of emperors Trajan and Hadrian.

The Borgheses having some financial difficulties were interested in selling some of their works of art and in 1891 it was acquired by Wolfgang Helbig for the Carlsberg Glyptotek.

Different attributions of who the artist behind the original design that served as basis for the Roman sculptor who made the Hera Borghese ranges from Alkamenes to Polykleitos.

[4] Comparison with how the figures chiton is draped[5] could also be compared with Venus Genetrix further strengthening the claim.
