Large Neoclassical Hand Carved White Marble Bas Relief / Plaque

About the Item

A monumental 19th century French hand carved white marble architectural bas-relief depicting two floating cherubs / cupids supporting a cartouche. The cartouche centered by a detailed oval gilt bronze plaque depicting figures in classical surroundings. Width: 78" Height: 39.5" Depth: 3" Bas-relief is a technique of carving where an image is projected in a shallow depth. If viewed from the side, the depth is distorted. However, when viewed from the front, the carved scene appears in three dimensions. This magnificent marble relief can be placed as an overmantle or overdoor piece as well as a decorative plaque elsewhere in a structure.

  • Large American White Marble Bust of a Gentleman by Randolph Rogers
    By Randolph Rogers
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Fine 19th century white carved marble bust of a gentleman with mustache wearing a Toga. Signed: Randolph Rogers, Rome. Randolph John Rogers (July 6, 1825, Waterloo, New York – January 15, 1892, Rome, Italy) was an American Neoclassical sculptor. An expatriate who lived most of his life in Italy, his works ranged from popular subjects to major commissions, including the Columbus Doors at the U.S. Capitol and American Civil War monuments. Born in Waterloo, New York, he spent most of his childhood in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He developed an interest in wood cuts and wood engraving, and moved to New York City about 1847, but was unsuccessful in finding employment as an engraver. While working as a clerk in a dry-goods store, his employers discovered his native talent as a sculptor and provided funds for him to travel to Italy. He began study in Florence in 1848, where he studied briefly under Lorenzo Bartolini. He then opened a studio in Rome in 1851. He resided in that city until his death in 1892. He began his career carving statues of children and portrait busts of tourists. He was not happy working with marble consequently all his marble statues were copied in his studio by Italian artisans under his supervision, from an original produced by him in another material. This also enabled him to profit from his popular works. His first large-scale work was Ruth Gleaning...
