Mythological Figure Bronze

About the Item

A circular base slightly elevates the bronze figure. The man, already of a certain age (as can be deduced from his bushy beard), is standing, dressed in a cloth around his waist, wearing sandals and wearing a crown of leaves (perhaps also with bouquets of grapes), and holds a torch in his right hand while with the left he raises or fights against a large snake that seems to emerge from his shoulder. While it is logical to think that Laocoon is fighting against the snake, there are other mythological figures who have been represented facing monsters (often with that same form), as Cadmus; Fidel Tisiphone is represented holding a torch and one or more snakes in his hands." • Size: 28 x 28 x 59 cms.
