Scipion Africanus
Atelier de Moulages
Plaster Relief
France or Belgium
Late 19th Century
24” x 15.5” x 4”
This beautiful and accurate plaster cast is of a Renaissance era relief of Scipion Africanus by Andrea del Verrochio. The level of refinement of the visage and the Roman armor is nothing short of extraordinary.
Plaster casts were made in the 18th and 19th centuries for the Grand Tour traveler. They were made to allow a collector to live with the beauty of the best examples of French and Italian art. They were also collected by museums in far flung places, so their patrons could experience the beauty of classical art in their local museum.
