Description
Decorative figure of high quality, made in reconstituted marble (marble powder) and finely polished. Patinated with natural earth, which gives the figure the beauty of a sculpture ​aged by the course of time.
This sculpture can be exposed the weather (outdoors). Ideal for the decoration or as a gift.
The measure includes the base.
The author of the sculptural group is unknown and belongs to the imperial Roman art of the first century. The original is kept in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
The Group of the Fighters, was found in Rome in the late sixteenth century and depicts two men doing Pankration in a struggle. Although formerly the sculpture was attributed to some of the most important sculptors of the classical period, currently it is considered that the group is a roman pastiche of the imperial era, created out of a work in bronze of the Hellenistic period.
The studies about the sculpture have shown that none of the heads belongs to the original group. In fact, his later addition agrees perfectly with the practice of the Roman art of assembling different sculptural pieces in a fragmentary state.
