¿Hijo de Cleopatra?

Abstract

Un candelabro de bronce con una representación de Atis perteneciente a la Fonda-tion Gandur de Ginebra, se presenta habitualmente como estatuilla de Alejandro Helios, el segundo hijo de Cleopatra. Analizadas las razones que conducen esa identificación, se con-cluye del análisis iconográfico que, en efecto, se trata del pastor amado de Cibeles. Se ras-trean los posibles orígenes del modelo, así como el significado de Atis en un candelabro. Por último, se señala alguna razón por la que en el mercado del arte se pudiera preferir la identifi-cación con Alejandro Helios en lugar de optar por Atis

A bronze lampstand with a representation of Attis from the Fondation Gandur in Geneva is usually identified as a statuette of Alexander Helios, the second son of Cleopatra. After analysing the reasons for such identification, we conclude from the iconographic study that it is indeed the beloved shepherd of Cybele. The possible origins of the model are traced, as well as the meaning of Attis in a lampstand. Finally, it is suggested a possible reason why in the art market one might prefer to identify the figure as Alexander Helios rather than Attis.
