AFTER THE ANTIQUE, A PAIR OF BRONZE FIGURES OF THE FURIETTI CENTAURS

AFTER THE ANTIQUE, A PAIR OF BRONZE FIGURES OF THE FURIETTI CENTAURS ITALIAN, 20TH CENTURY Modelled after the Righetti model without supporting tree trunks, on polished black marble bases 29cm and 33cm high overall, the bases 24.5cm x 10cm Literature: Francis Haskell and Nicholas Penny, Taste and the Antique, Yale 1982, page 178 The original Centaurs were discovered during excavations (conducted by Monsignor Furietti) at Hadrian's Villa, Tivoli on the outskirts of Rome in 1736. They were acquired by Pope Clement XIII from Furietti's heirs and placed in the Capitoline Museum. Bronze reproductions were made by famous 18th century bronze foundries such as those established by Righetti and Zofolli to cater for demand from Grand Tourists. Their decorative appeal to the Georgians was enhanced by the fact that they were a classical, symmetrical pair. An 18th example from the Righetti workshop can be seen in the V&A collection (Accession number: 979-1882). Condition Report: With wear, marks, knocks and scratches as per age, handling, use, and cleaning. Bothe with firing marks, small flaws and holes, later bases.
