Aristotle - Teacher of Alexander the Great

This marble bust of Aristotle - the Greek philosopher and teacher of Alexander the Great - is from the Roman era and is based on a work by Lysippus (who created his bronze original in approximately 330 B.C.).

The full bust - part of the Ludovisi Collection - is on display at Palazzo Altemps (one of the locations of the National Museum of Rome). The image above provides a detailed version of the head portion of the marble replica.
