拍品描述
Description Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 2nd century CE. Finely cast via the lost wax (cire perdue) process, a statue of a youthful male gladiator, clearly a boy though exhibiting the courage of a grown man. The sculptor has captured him in a dynamic pose, standing with his legs separated, his right arm, likely once holding a spear, held outward, guarding himself with his shielded left arm. He wears a belted garment and looks ahead with deeply-set concave eyes, a petite nose, and a wide open mouth as if issuing an intimidating call, all topped by a curly coiffure. This is an extremely rare subject presenting a stupendous form with wonderful patina. Size: 2.3" W x 2.625" H (5.8 cm x 6.7 cm); 3.6" H (9.1 cm) on included custom stand. See a helmeted adult male gladiator at the J. Paul Getty Museum (object number 96.AB.189). According to the Getty, "Gladiatorial combats were an extremely popular form of entertainment in the Roman world. Gladiators were mostly men with few other options, such as slaves, criminals, or prisoners of war, although a few free men chose this risky career. Every gladiator had a specialty, identified by his armor and weapons. Many of the standard types originated from prisoners of war fighting in their native armor. Due to the sport's popularity, small figures of gladiators, made of either terracotta or bronze, were manufactured throughout the Roman empire." This figure is most unusual in that he is a boy rather than a grown man! Published: J. Eisenberg. Art of the Ancient World, 2008, No. 70.
