About the Item

This fine 19th century copy of the famous group is in a sumptuous Serpentine marble. The Sabine man crouches in submissive pose, whilst the Roman carries off the writhing woman. It is well-presented on the original matching plinth and pedestal . This perhaps forms part of someone's Grand Tour along with mosaics and bronzes after the antique. It is a reduction of the huge original and was made by a highly skilled but now anonymous sculptor The legend is that the Romans invited the Sabine men to watch some celebratory games and then took advantage of their absence from home by carrying of their women. War ensued until the ladies managed to reconcile the men.

Very Large Bronze "Abduction of a Sabine Woman" After Giambologna, 19th Cent

By Giambologna, Ferdinando de Luca

Located in Paris, FR

Very large bronze sculpture with brown patina, based on the group "The Rape of the Sabine Women" by John of Bologna (Giambologna). This pivoting composition shows three figures in motion: a man on the ground defeated with his shield turned upside down, a second one arched clutching a woman launched towards the sky trying to escape, all on a naturalistic base. The Sabine man, the Roman and the Sabine woman are all depicted naked. This staging plays on serpentine lines known as "figura serpentinata" and diagonals giving a beautiful variety of volumes and a multiplicity of angles of view. The bronze is signed F. De Luca...
