A Roman style gesso over plaster carved head of the god Jupiter on circular base. Emanating the grandeur of ancient Rome, this verist representation of the god Jupiter, intricately carved from gesso over plaster, stands as a testimony to artistry and tradition. Draped in a rich, dark brown finish, the meticulous attention to detail springs forth, especially in the intricacies of the god's bearded visage and pronounced ossature. From the soulful carve of his eyes to the depth and realism of the beard, the piece is a marvel of craftsmanship. The signature 'SM' discreetly placed on its side denotes its creator's mark.
Resting upon a circular base, this Roman deity is not just a piece of art but an emblem of timeless divinity. Its hollow back accentuates its ancient sculpture feel, reminiscent of artefacts discovered in old Roman digs. Restored, its patina speaks volumes of history and grand tales of old.
Position this captivating sculpture as a centrepiece in a study, or let it grace a mantelpiece in a lounge, adding an air of classical sophistication. For the discerning eye, it's more than decor - it's a conversation, a bridge between today and a time long past.
