Sculpture, Coppia centauri Furietti - 45 cm - Bronze

\r
Pair of centaurs completely in bronze, called "Centaurs furietti".
Scale reduction of the two original centaurs, exhibited in the Capitoline Museums, Rome.
The originals were found in 1736, in the villa of Emperor Hadrian, in Tivoli.
In Greek mythology, centaurs were human beings, between human and animal, with the torso and head of a man, and the body and legs of an animal.
The two artefacts are certainly of neo-classical inspiration, with an Italian feel.
Datable around the end of the 20th century.
Branded holder.
They are in good condition, with original patina.
Private origin.
Height 45 cm (from base to head)
Length 34 cm;
Depth 13cm.
