19th C. Italian Grand Tour Portrait Medallion of Alexander the Great in Bronze
About the Item
19th Century Italian Grand Tour Portrait Medallion of Alexander the Great in Bronze, Attributed to Naples Foundry, 1st half of 19th Century.
A fine 19th-century Italian Grand Tour bronze portrait medallion of Alexander the Great, attributed to the Naples Foundry and dating to the first half of the 19th century. This exceptional piece reflects the artistry and historical appreciation of the Grand Tour era, crafted to honor the grandeur of classical antiquity.
Measuring 10 inches high to the top of the ring, 9 inches high to the top of the medallion, 7 inches wide, and 2 inches deep, the oval medallion features a right-facing profile of Alexander the Great. His iconic "cornucopia" of hair encircling the ear is depicted with remarkable detail, reflecting both the subject's legendary status and the craftsmanship of the time. The beveled bronze frame is subtly engraved along the edge, adding an air of regal refinement.
The medallion is fitted with a cast hanging ring at the top, making it easy to display and appreciate. Though unsigned, the superb craftsmanship strongly supports its attribution to the renowned Naples Foundry.
In excellent condition for its age, it displays minor wear consistent with its historical journey, enhancing its antique character. Ready to hang and enjoy, it is perfect for collectors of Grand Tour artifacts or those seeking a unique decorative piece inspired by classical antiquity.
