18th Century Neoclassic Stone Frieze Fragment from France, on Stand
About the Item
A superb Neoclassic frieze fragment hand-carved in stone, depicting a young decorated soldier. Mounted on a wood / bronze base. Mid 18th Century, possibly earlier.
The technique is Bas Relief (from Italian relievare, “to raise”). In sculpture, consists of any work in which the figures project from a supporting background, usually a flat surface. In this piece, a young man is exquisitely depicted with the classic Roman and Greek facial features, also wearing a laurel wreath on his head, a Greco-Roman symbol of triumph. His garments, however are intricately carved in the style of a military uniform more according to the period. The piece has a desirable weather patina, while preserving some of the red pigment used in the decoration.
The fragment, measuring approximately 20" x 20" x 6", has been secured over a slate of brushed bronze about 0.5 cm. thick, attached to a vertical metal rod screwed to the back of the stone. The bronze slate rests freely on a solid wood trapezoid base, and this elegant ensemble makes the fragment look like it's almost floating.
28 inches total high (mounted). For more dimensions, please see pictures.
