DESCRIPTION
Pair of Grand Tour columns, XIX century.
Gilded bronze and marble.
Measurements: 45 cm (total height).
Pair of columns topped by gilded bronze figures. These sculptures are representative of the Grand Tour style, a trend that, during the 19th century, promoted the creation of copies, reinterpretations and adaptations of Greco-Roman statuary for cultured collectors and European travelers. French academicism is evident in them, with its attention to precise anatomical modeling, the neatness of the surface of the patinated bronze and the search for a balance between naturalism and idealization. The pair of bronzes combines the classical erudition and refined sensuality of late neoclassical taste with the decorative elegance that seduced the travelers of the Grand Tour: works that evoke the splendor of Antiquity, interpreted with the technical sophistication and tastes of the nineteenth century.
