Large bust sculpture of a Roman Emperor patina bronze

This magnificent bust, inspired by the ancient Roman statuary, is a faithful reproduction of the effigy of Antonin the Pious, one of the greatest emperors of Rome.

This fragment comes from an original statue dating about 150 years after J.-C., Today at the Glyptotheque in Munich.

This sculptural masterpiece testifies to the magnificence of the Roman Empire during its reign, a period of stability, economic prosperity and harmony, marked by a marked absence of major conflicts.

Antonin's face, captured with incredible expressivity, reveals imperial serenity and timeless wisdom.
His penetrating gaze, framed by a finely wavy hair and a precisely carved beard, perfectly embodies the ideal of the sovereign philosopher, concerned about the well-being of his people and the proper functioning of his empire.
The effect of patina black bronze, subtly worn by time, accentuates the realism and depth of this masterful work.

The toge, richly draped on its shoulders, has deep and dynamic folds, testifying to the exceptional know-how of Roman sculptors.

Every detail, up to the fibula fixing its garment, has been carefully worked out to restore all the splendour of ancient art. This bust seems to reappear from the past, marked by the erosion of time, as a vestige of a past, but never forgotten.

This bust of Antonin the Pious becomes a collection piece in its own right, ideal for a classic decoration or a contemporary interior.

Its majestic appearance and historical authenticity are a subject of fascination, convoking the spirit of the great monarchs and ancient philosophers.

Perfect for a desk, a living room or a library, it is a true tribute to art and history, a fragment of roman epic that goes through the ages to invite yourself to your home.
