Grand Tour Bronze Sculpture Of Narcissus Italian 19th Century

About the Item

19th Century Grand Tour Bronze Sculpture of Narcissus. Narcissus is shown in a moment of self-reflection, standing in a contemplative pose. His idealized form highlights his youthful, athletic physique, with a focus on anatomical precision and naturalism. His facial expression is one of deep focus and fascination, reflecting his obsession with self-love. This Grand Tour bronze serves as both a tribute to the myth of Narcissus and a symbol of the era's reverence for classical themes, beauty, and the human form. It also exemplifies the romanticized exploration of vanity, self-obsession and the tragic consequences of excessive self-love, themes that resonated deeply in the neoclassical period. Weight: 22.8lbs The Italian Grand Tour was a cultural trip undertaken by young European aristocrats, primarily during the 18th and 19th centuries, in order to complete their education. Italy, with its rich history, art, and culture, was the focal point of these journeys. As part of their exploration, many travelers collected art and artifacts, including bronze sculptures, often as a symbol of their refined taste and as souvenirs from their travels. In essence, the collection of bronze sculptures during the Italian Grand Tour was a reflection of the era’s fascination with antiquity and the cultural and intellectual ideals of the time. Today, many of these works remain valuable examples of the intersection of art, history, and travel.
