Large and Magnificent Grand Tour Bust of Ares in Plaster
About the Item
A large and magnificent bust of Ares in plaster, after the 2nd century Roman marble of the Imperial Era, known as the Borghese Ares. This marble is thought to be a copy of the rare Greek bronze by Alkamenes, dated to the 5th century BC.
The identification of the figure as Ares has been challenged, some thinking the statue could possibly be Achilles. However, numerous ancient Roman replicas of the Ares have survived, and this conforms to the type. It has also been proposed that the sculpture was an object of Augustan propaganda, casting Augustus's heir and grandson Gaius as 'The New Ares'.
Our plaster model is possibly by Brucciani & Co. or a similar workshop.
Italian, mid-19th century.

View AllLarge Italian Statue of a Sleeping Nymph
Located in London, GB
A large Italian school carrara marble sculpture depicting a sleeping nymph. The finely carved sculpture is reminiscent of a depiction of Sleeping Ariadne, popularised by the Roman copy of the Hellenistic original, the former being housed at the Vatican. Reclining on rocks, the sleeping nymph is shown draped only below the waist, and her finely modelled form is exemplified by the delicacy of her fingers.
Italian, early 19th century.
