Antique Bronze model of the Borghese Gladiator

About the Item

A fine and large bronze Model of the Borghese Gladiator, supported on Rosso Antico rectangular marble base. This sculpture is an impressive 19th century Italian bronze figure based on the original marble sculpture also titled ‘The Borghese Gladiator’. The masculinity of the subject, a warrior in fighting pose plunging forwards with the remnants of a shield on his forearm, is captured with an elegance that was translated from the original marble into a smooth, more refined curvature of the bronze, providing a harmony in subject and form. Unlike the original marble sculpture, the warrior wears a fig leaf. lt is sculpted with defined and tense muscular anatomy, with clear and natural patination shown on the bronze.
