About the Item

Bronze Gladiator Figure, Wounded Gladiator in dark patina bronze, early 1900s Italian sculpture in good condition. The work is inspired by the Hellenistic sculpture depicting the Dying Gaul, the famous marble Galata Morente in the Capitoline Museums in Rome. The neoclassical work is signed on the edge of the Campajola base, Tommaso Campajola 1890 - 1968 active in Naples, see photographic detail. It is a depiction of a now vanquished warrior, a gladiator with bleeding stab wounds in one leg and chest who, kneeling on the ground, raises the sword with the broken blade with one hand, while with the other holds the shield depicting the bas-relief of Medusa. The casting was made in earthenware and has a dark green patina; it dates from the early decades of the 1900s and is in perfect condition. Under the base it bears a Venetian store label. This ancient Italian sculpture finds its raison d'être in what were suggestions for travel souvenirs and the collecting of the Grand Tour. We ship from Italy, to export any art object over 70 years old, the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage must issue an export license called a BEAUTIFUL ARTS. the issuance of such a government license takes about 2 to 3 weeks, to be added to the order shipping time.
