Beschreibung

A Grand Tour orange glass cast, drawn from an intaglio. Paris and Helen, scolded by Hector. The scene is drawn from a low relief by Bertel Thorvaldsen ("Ettore con Elena e Paride", 1809, plaster, Copenaghen, Thorvaldsen Museum), engraved by Luigi Dies (1793-post 1852). A second version of the scene has been engraved in a cameo by Clemente Pestrini (attivo 1806-1830). The glass cast represents a third variant (anepigraphic and of an exceptional engraving quality), drawn from a presumably lost intaglio. There are slight differences among the three specimens, in the bezel shape, the size and some details (see the shield straps). Excellent conditions. For comparisons: L.P.B.Stefanelli, La collezione Paoletti, vol. I, p. 290 n.83; p.303 n. 269. First half of the 19th century.
38 x 44 x 7 mm.
