The Dying Gaul bronze sculpture figure on marble base 19c

ITEM# 4807
The Dying Gaul bronze sculpture figure on marble base 19c
The Dying Gaul late 19th century bronze sculpture figure on marble base. This bronze antique sculpture was very well cast. It is signed B. Boschetti Roma. Benedetto Boschetti was active between 1820 and 1870. He had a shop at Via Condotti #74 where he sold his bronzes, marbles, and decorative objects. He was also known as a mosaic artist. His bronzes were primarily fine copies after famous classical antiquities. The original Dying Gaul, now lost, was a Greek bronze sculpture created around 225 BC. This Boschetti "Dying Gaul" bronze measures 24 inches wide, 12 and one half inches high by 10 and one half inches wide. The marble base is a lightly veined maroon color, measuring 2 and one eighth inches thick. The figure retains its original matte olive brown patina. Both figure and base are in excellent original condition.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
