Antinous Farnese - an ancient Roman marble statue from a gallery painted by Annibale Carracci in the Palazzo Farnese , the original of which is now on display at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples . Unlike the later images of Antinous in the form of an idealized god, this sculpture - like Antinus of Delphi - apparently does not lack similarities with the prototype, for it represents the beloved emperor Hadrian as a fragile youth.
