Mark Jones Antiques has dated this Bronze Sabine Woman Sculpture to the 19th Century.
The original work ‘The Abduction or Rape of a Sabine Woman’ carved on a monumental scale in white marble between the years of 1581 and 1583 by the Renaissance sculptor Giambologna (1529-1608) stands in the Loggia dei Lanzi, Piazza della Signoria, Florence.
Bronze reductions of the sculpture, produced in Giambologna’s own studio and imitated by others, like our work, were a staple of connoisseurs’ collections into the 19th century.
This bronze, finely cast in the ‘round’, very effectively captures the drama and emotion of the classical myth. It appears to have been in a limited number of ownerships, having remained in very good condition and gained a good natural patinated surface.
Dimensions: The bronze 55cm high, 22cm wide, 20cm deep; 73cm high including marble base
