Beschreibung

A large neoclassical transparent glass impression. Centauromachia.

19th century

34 x 42 x 7 mm

A very fine and large cast taken from a neoclassical intaglio signed G.G. A young male character, presumably Hercules, assaults and strangles a centaur, who is attacking another young character on the ground. The centaur holds a club. A lion skin is hanged above a tree on the left, while another lion skin swells in the air on the right. High-impact combat scene, in which anatomical details are masterfully rendered in the muscular effort of the fight. The poses are inspired by the Greek reliefs of centauromachy. Neoclassical composition, taken from a large carving to be identified. Slight wear marks. Rare.
