Large Mid 19th C Grand Tour Bronze Figurative Sculpture "The Dying Gaul"

This most impressive large Grand Tour bronze depicts the Dying Gaul or Gladiator, taken from the original classical sculpture, which was Greek, circa 230 BC, with a later Roman version sculpted in marble and produced in the 1st or 2nd century AD.

This larger scale bronze is an Italian Grand Tour sculpture which was produced at the Fonderia Nelli Roma (Nelli Foundry Rome).

It is nicely stamped and signed in the bronze at the back of the sculpture.

The quality of this piece is excellent, and it has superb fine detailing.

The bronze is mounted onto a double moulded and polished black and figured russet marble plinth which is raised up on three cast bronze lions' paw feet.

The bronze and marble are in excellent condition, and the sculpture is finished with a lovely mid brown patina, which is also in very good condition.

Italian, circa 1870

Height 30cm x width 50cm x depth 27cm
