Frame - Grand Tour - Europe - 19th Century

A rare and elegant Grand Tour frame presenting a set of 14 plaster casts, mounted in gilt bronze, depicting reproductions of the most celebrated works from museum collections in Italy and Europe. These casts, inspired by ancient and Neoclassical masterpieces, reproduce profiles, bas-reliefs, and emblematic scenes from Greco-Roman sculpture, as they were admired and disseminated during the Grand Tour, the essential initiatory journey of European elites in the 18th and 19th centuries. The set is harmoniously arranged on a dark green fabric background, within a giltwood frame, giving the composition a presentation that is both educational and decorative, typical of objects brought back or commissioned by cultured travelers of the period. This type of panel served simultaneously as a travel souvenir, an object of study, and an element of scholarly decoration, evoking cabinets of curiosities and the pronounced taste for Antiquity. Highly decorative, ready to hang. Period: 19th century Origin: Europe Dimensions: 31.5 × 21.5 cm
