Gladiatore Ferito Figura Grand Tour in Bronzo Ispirata al Galata Morente Romano

About the Item

Gladiatore ferito in bronzo, scultura italiana della seconda metà del 1800 in buono stato di conservazione. La figura si ispira alla scultura ellenistica raffigurante il "Gallo morente" il celebre Galata Morente in marmo dei Musei Capitolini di Roma. L'opera è firmata da autore non identificato in quanto la firma presente sul bordo della base non è decifrabile, vedasi dettaglio fotografico. Si tratta della rappresentazione di un guerriero ormai vinto, un gladiatore con ferite sanguinanti da arma da taglio in una gamba e al petto che inginocchiato a terra, alza con una mano la spada con la lama spezzata, mentre con l’altra regge lo scudo. La fusione è stata eseguita in terra ed ha una patina verde scuro; risale alla seconda metà del 1800 ed è in perfetto stato di conservazione. Sotto la base reca l’etichetta di un negozio veneziano. Questa scultura italiana trova la sua ragion d’essere in quelle che erano le proposte per i ricordi da viaggio del Grand Tour. La esportazione dall'Italia è soggetta alle Belle Arti, una licenza governativa che va richiesta al ministero ed il cui rilascio necessita 2/3 settimane. La spedizione potrà essere effettuata solo con questa licenza.

"Galata Morente" Sculpture in Bronze, sign: F. Barbedienne Fonduer
By F. Barbedienne Foundry
Located in Ciudad Autónoma Buenos Aires, C
F. Barbedienne fonduer Ferdinand Barbedienne (6 August 1810 – 21 March 1892) was a French metalworker and manufacturer, who was well known as a bronze founder. The son of a small farmer from Calvados, he started his career as a dealer in wallpaper in Paris. In 1838 he went into partnership with Achille Collas (1795-1859), who had just invented a machine to create miniature bronze replicas of statues. Together they started a business selling miniatures of antique statues from museums all over Europe, thus democratising art and making it more accessible to households.[2] From 1843 they extended their scope by reproducing the work of living artists and also diversified by making enamelled household objects. With the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870 the firm briefly had to switch to cannon founding owing to the shortage of metals but resumed business afterwards. Following Barbedienne's death in 1892, he was buried in the Père-Lachaise cemetery and the firm was carried on by his nephew Gustave Leblanc until 1952. Among the principal artists reproduced by the firm were Antoine Louis Barye and Auguste Rodin. The Dying Galata (Italian: Galata morente...
