Plaster Cast of 'Gladiatore Borghese" (Late 1970s, Italy)

$5,300.00

This representative "Gladiatore Borghese" a 1:1 plaster reproduction, crafted in Italy during the late 1970s

The Borghese Gladiator was discovered near Rome in the early 17th century and became a part of the Borghese family collection, from which it takes its name. This work has been admired for its anatomical accuracy and the energy conveyed in its posture, demonstrating a keen understanding of human musculature and movement.

The sculpture we have here is a study of the torso, focusing on the details of the body without limbs or head, reflecting the classical tradition of the study of the human form.
