CA0384 Grand Tour pair of patinated bronze classical warriors after David

Fine pair of mid 19th century Grand Tour patinated cabinet bronzes depicting the classical warriors Romulus and Titus Tatius after Jaques-Louis David’s ‘The Intervention of the Sabine Women’ painted in 1799 and now on permanent display in the Louvre in Paris. This great historical work of art was a must see on the Grand Tour of the 19th century. Produced in two sizes, this pair are the larger more detailed versions with the circular shield emblazoned with the wolf of Rome carried by Romulus. Good quality pair, defined casting and chasing, deep brown patination, presented on Sienna marble slab bases. France, circa 1850.
