About the Item

19th-century Italian Grand Tour Bronze of the Gladiator, After the Roman Antique Attributed to the Naples Foundry, late 19th century This fine 19th-century Italian Grand Tour bronze sculpture, attributed to the Naples Foundry, is a captivating homage to the renowned 'Borghese Gladiator' of 100 BC. Measuring 12 inches wide, 5 inches deep, and 12 inches high, this exquisitely cast and patinated bronze depicts the dynamic male form of a gladiator in mid-motion, masterfully capturing the essence of classical beauty and strength.

This piece exemplifies the aesthetic and craftsmanship of the Grand Tour era, where such artworks were prized as souvenirs by travelers seeking to bring home a piece of classical antiquity. The bronze's fine detailing and lifelike representation make it a standout addition to any collection, evoking the grandeur of ancient Roman art and the skill of 19th-century Italian artisans.
