A Finely Sculpted Grand Tour Model of The Temple of Vespasian, Italy Circa 1900
About the Item
The large & finely sculpted alabaster structure showing a trio of fluted columns terminating to finely carved Corinthian capitals, supporting an entablature with a carved frieze illustrating symbols relating to the priestly Collegia of Rome. Raised upon a mottled grey alabaster plinth base.
In very good overall condition, and priced competitively in comparison to similar examples in the marketplace.
By the mid to late 1880's the supply of ancient marble had been largely exhausted, subsequently souvenir makers & sculptors then turned to Italian alabaster for their production. However, to make the alabaster resemble ancient giallo antico marble – a preferred material for models earlier in the 19th century, artisans then color-dyed the alabaster.
