A Patinated Bronze Plaque Depicting Antinous

About the Item

The Roman Emperor Hadrian became acquainted with the beautiful youth named Antinous in Anatolia. The young man’s beauty inspired innumerable pieces of sculpture, but ultimately his fame became too much to bear, it seems, and he threw himself into the Nile. Hadrian continued ordering his image to be created anywhere and everywhere throughout the Empire, however. This bronze reproduction of a Roman marble relief was cast by Barbedienne in the late nineteenth century. It’s inscribed “Barbedienne.”

For some reason, Sylvain Norga almost always created bronze wall plaques of Christ. In some cases he created bronze plaques with both Jesus and Mary in them, but the ones with only Mary are very hard to find. We find it extra special that this stunning and practical size Mother Mary sculpture...
