Bust Copy Marble Unmarked Scipio Africanus
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture known as the "Bust of Scipio Africanus". A faithful copy of the original basalt bust housed in Palazzo Rospigliosi in Rome, this marble masterpiece is believed to have been created around 1850/60. Standing at an impressive height of 77.5 centimeters and measuring 60 by 25.5 centimeters, it exudes an air of grandeur and elegance. The artist behind this exquisite reproduction remains unmarked, leaving us to marvel at their skillful craftsmanship. However, we do know that Ferdinand Schlöth, a renowned sculptor born in Basel in 1818 and later residing in Thal/St. Gallen until his passing in 1891, played a significant role in its creation. The intricate details captured within this photograph highlight the meticulous artistry involved in replicating such an iconic piece from ancient history. The stoic expression on Scipio Africanus' face reflects his legendary status as a Roman general who triumphed over Hannibal during the Second Punic War. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back through time to witness the enduring legacy of one of Rome's greatest military leaders. This print serves as a testament to both the artistic talent required for such replication and our fascination with preserving historical artifacts for generations to come.
