The Pasquino Group (also known as Menelaus Carrying the Body of Patroclus or Ajax Carrying the Body of Achilles) is a group of marble sculptures that copy a Hellenistic bronze original, dating to ca. 200–150 BCE. At least fifteen Roman marble copies of this sculpture are known. Many of these marble copies have complex artistic and social histories that illustrate the degree to which improvisatory "restorations" were made to fragments of ancient Roman sculpture during the 16th and 17th centuries, in which contemporary Italian sculptors made original and often arbitrary and destructive additions in an effort to replace lost fragments of the ancient sculptures.

  • The Pasquino Group (also known as Menelaus Carrying the Body of Patroclus or Ajax Carrying the Body of Achilles) is a group of marble sculptures that copy a Hellenistic bronze original, dating to ca. 200–150 BCE. At least fifteen Roman marble copies of this sculpture are known. Many of these marble copies have complex artistic and social histories that illustrate the degree to which improvisatory "restorations" were made to fragments of ancient Roman sculpture during the 16th and 17th centuries, in which contemporary Italian sculptors made original and often arbitrary and destructive additions in an effort to replace lost fragments of the ancient sculptures. One of the most famous versions of the composition, though so dismembered and battered that the relationship is scarcely recognizable at first glance, is the so-called Pasquin, one of the talking statues of Rome. It was set up on a pedestal in 1501 and remains unrestored. A version of the group, probably intended to represent other Homeric figures, is part of the Sperlonga sculptures found in 1957. (en)
  • La scultura Patroclo e Menelao nota anche come Aiace che sorregge il corpo di Achille si trova a Firenze, al centro della Loggia dei Lanzi, in Piazza della Signoria. Per lungo tempo si è pensato che il personaggio sorreggente il cadavere di Patroclo fosse Menelao, ma ultimamente è stato ipotizzato che si tratti di Aiace Telamonio. L'opera è comunque basata sull' Iliade di Omero, dove sono descritte l'uccisione di Patroclo ad opera di Ettore e la lotta accesasi fra Achei e Troiani per il possesso del suo cadavere, recuperato poi dai primi.

  • «Менелай с телом Патрокла» — мраморная копия I века н. э. с утраченной пергамской скульптуры, фрагменты которой были обнаружены в Риме в XVI веке и сразу же приобретены тосканским герцогом Козимо Медичи. Он поручил Пьетро Такка и выполнить «восстановление» обезображенной скульптуры; результат их усилий был помещён в одну из ниш Понте Веккьо. Ныне он стоит в лоджии Ланци на площади Синьории. В 1771 году Антон Менгс, будучи не удовлетворён маньеристской «реставрацией» скульпторов XVI века, решил исправить их огрехи и выполнил гипсовый вариант скульптурной группы. Ещё один вариант той же героической композиции, происходящий из мавзолея Августа, с XVI века фигурировал в собрании Медичи под именем Аякса; его можно видеть в палаццо Питти. Знаменитая римская статуя Пасквино, видимо, первоначально иллюстрировала тот же сюжет. (ru)
