Antique Bronze Bust of Menelaus
About the Item
An antique bronze Neoclassical bust of Menelaus after the antique. This handsome sculpture is depicted looking to the right with his helmet raised over his waved hair and curling beard. Menelaus sits on a gilt square socle and plinth with rich patina.
According to Greek mythology, Menelaus was the Greek king of Sparta. He was a central figure in the Trojan war, leading the Spartan contingent of the Greek army under his elder brother Agamemnon, king of Mycenae. The style and stature of this Greek hero make him a handsome decorative piece for any home.
The original bust of Menelaus sits in the Vatican museum in Rome, which is sometimes referenced as the bust of Ajax.

Bust of Menelaus or Ajax (Pasquino Group). Bronze. Twentieth century.
Bust made of bronze that shows a man with a beard, dressed in a cloak gathered in a circular brooch and with a strap on the other shoulder, and wearing a helmet decorated with reliefs.
The work is inspired by a highly appreciated sculpture known as the Pasquino Group (or Menelaus carrying the body of Patroclus or Ajax carrying the body of Achilles), made in marble copying a Hellenistic bronze and dated around 200-150 BC. C. About fifteen Roman marble copies are known of it, many “intervened” (or restored) during the 16th and 17th centuries. The earliest of these copies were first documented in Rome in the 1500s. Cosimo I, Grand Duke of Tuscany, purchased an ancient marble fragment of an armored male bust supporting a dying companion, moved it to Florence (inventoryed in 1574) and Ferdinando II...
