Raised on a black marble base.

19 3/4 x 13 x 8 in.

Note: The original statue of Marcus Aurelius was erected circa 175 AD/CE, and is the only complete bronze statue of a pre-Christian Roman emperor to have survived. Such statues were usually melted down for their bronze or destroyed by early Christians. This statue escaped a similar fate because it was erroneously believed to depict Constantine, the first Christian emperor. Casts of this model have been recorded by the Roman bronze foundry of Giacomo and Giovanni Zoffoli (1738-1795) and (1745-1805), as well as that of Francesco Righetti (1738-1819).

Condition

Scattered small areas of rubbing and minor wear to the bronze. The black marble base with scattered nicks and age splits, and two losses to the top border of the base. Top currently detached from base. Nicely cast.

Notwithstanding this report or any discussion concerning condition of a lot, all lots are offered and sold "as is" in accordance with our conditions of sale.
