Wooden sculptures depicting a pair of full-figure Roman soldiersRome, 18th century Carved and gilded wood (walnut?) Maximum height (to the spear) 62 cm. - Maximum width: 28 cm. Full details of this work can be found directly at the following - LINK - A pair of wooden sculptures depicting two Roman centurions, prized for their austere elegance, highlighted by the full-figure construction, as well as the all-round finish. The two sculptures are distinguished by a stylistic model that allows us to attribute the work to a carver active in the first part of the eighteenth century. The figures, which are realistically described, especially in the splendid rendering of the garments, measured in the drapery, in the definition of the details, as well as in the movement of the body, are part of the rich and fortunate production of Italian sculptures, particularly Roman, between the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century. This is a pair depicting two Roman soldiers, dressed in the classic cuirass, complete with a long cloak and a crested bell helmet, while holding two long spears, raised on a pedestal in the shape of a globe. The works may have originated as part of a more articulated composition, perhaps even of a religious nature, such as the numerous centurions who enriched a Calvary or a Way of the Cross. The good state of preservation finally allows us to fully appreciate the quality of the carving. Signs of restoration present on the spear, in conjunction with the hand (the upper part is detachable).
