Description
Portrait of Emperor Theodosius in profile, Grand Tour School, 19th century Cast iron. Measures 17 cm in diameter. Circular relief depicting the profile of Emperor Theodosius, inspired by numismatic models and portraits from Roman antiquity. The face is depicted with idealised features, curly hair and a well-defined profile, in a sober and classical style. The modelling is precise and clear, emphasising the historical and monumental character of the figure. These pieces, produced in the context of the Grand Tour, served as objects of cultural and scholarly evocation, bringing together history, archaeology and art in the 19th century. 17 cm
