Dying Gaul Sculpture 29" Wide Greek Gladiator

This large-scale reproduction of the Dying Gaul statue, measuring 29" W x 13.5" D x 14" H, offers a glimpse into the ancient world. Originally sculpted by Epigonus in 223 BCE, this Roman copy resides in the Capitoline Museum in Rome. It commemorates the victories of King Attalos I over the Gauls, yet portrays the defeated warriors with dignity and pathos. Once mistaken for a gladiator, the figure's moustache and neck torque indicate his Gaulish identity. Notably, Michelangelo restored the right arm of this renowned sculpture. Crafted in plaster, this museum-quality replica captures the Greeks' admiration for strength and bravery, offering a timeless piece of artistry.
