Grand Tour – Bronze Sculpture Representing Mars, Italy, 19th Century
Fine bronze sculpture depicting Mars, the Roman god of war, shown standing in a composed and authoritative pose. He wears a crested helmet, a short belted tunic and a draped chlamys over one shoulder. The raised arm forms a commanding gesture, inspired by classical Roman statuary.
This piece belongs to the tradition of Grand Tour bronzes, produced in Italy during the 19th century for European collectors, after idealized models of antique Roman sculpture. The bronze is hollow-cast at the back, consistent with period casting techniques, and displays a warm patina.
Mounted on its original black base.
