Grand Tour Jennings Dog Serpentine Sculpture After the Antique
About the Item
An antique carved Italian serpentine sculpture after the Grand Tour Jennings Dog.
This seated dog displays impressive carved details as it sits proudly raised on its rectangular integral base.
The striking neoclassical style is showcased through the dark serpentine with notes of green and notable features of the iconic dog.
Much like the original, this depiction is displayed in a relaxed seated position, with its head raised and its front paws stretched out.
You can just imagine this 19th century sculpture sat on a mantel piece, side cabinet or in a study for passersby to admire.
Grand Tour Jennings Dog
The original sculpture of the Grand Tour Jennings Dog was named after its first owner, Henry Constatine Jennings, and a replica of a 2nd century Roman sculpture.
Bought by Jennings in 1750, the roman sculpture titled “Hound of Alcibiades" is one of the very few examples of a Hellenistic animal sculpture copied in the Roman period. The original marble figure depicts the Molossian, an extinct ancestor of the modern day mastiff, now on permanent display in the British Museum.
Various versions in marble or bronze were often displayed pride of place in grand homes, seen as a reminder of the traveller’s journey across Europe as well as the knowledge and great learning that came with it.
