About the Item
A terracotta portrait bust of Caracalla, Roman Emperor from 198 to 217 AD. The Emperor is depicted in expressive detail and wears a swathed toga which is glazed in white for a striking colour contrast. Similar portrait busts, showing Caracalla with cropped hair, stubble beard and a menacing glare, are found on display in museums across the globe including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and The St. Louis Art Museum, Missouri. Historically, Emperor Caracalla is regarded as one of the most bloodthirsty Roman tyrants. He was infamous for his ruthless approach to rule, eliminating rivals in an instant, even his own brother and co-emperor, Geta. This provides explanation for his seemingly stern expression with a furrowed brow and sharp gaze, conveying a forbidding posture suggestive of power and might.

Tenerani Statuary Marble Bust of a Young Augustus Caesar
Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
A finely carved statuary white marble bust of a young Augustus Caesar attributed to the workshops of 19th century Italian sculptor Pietro Tenerani (1789-1869). Also known as Young Octavian, this bust of a young Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar is after a sculpture found in the Pio Clementino Museums of the Vatican.
Carved with exceptional detail, the bust is elevated on a turned socle and bears the name ‘TENERANI’ to the front. Other busts like this one after the Vatican original of the former Emperor Augustus were sculpted in the Mid-18th Century.
Pietro Tenerani (1789-1869) was a notable Italian sculptor of the early 19th century. In his early career, he trained under Italian sculptor Lorenzo Bartolini, before moving to Rome where he won a scholarship as a pupil of Danish sculptor, Bertel Thorvalsden. Having honed his skills, Tenerani worked from a studio of his own in later years. William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire, Queen Victoria and Pope Pius IX...
