A thorough grounding in classical prototypes is evident in this highly charged representation of an incident from the battle between the Lapins and the Centaurs described in Book XII of Ovid Metamorphoses. The Parthenon depicting the Greek legend, but the death blow delivered by the Greek hero is recognizable as a borrowing from the marble Hercules and a Centaur by the Mannerism sculptor Bologna in Florence. The Bronze Sculpture with a brown patina finish is mounted upon a marble base. Dimensions: Height 10 X Width 10 inches. Weight: 10 LBS.
