Description:

|
Roman marble copy of a lost Hellenistic sculpture thought to have been executed in bronze. The original may have been commissioned some time between 230 and 220 BCE by Attalus I of Pergamon to celebrate his victory over the Galatians, the Celtic or Gaulish people of parts of Anatolia (modern Turkey). The identity of the sculptor of the original is unknown, but it has been suggested that Epigonus, court sculptor of the Attalid dynasty of Pergamon, may have been the creator. The carefully detailed nude body, bushy hair, mustache, and metal torque identify the Gaul and manifest fascination with foreigners. Recorded in the Ludovisi Collection, Rome, in 1623, the marble was apparently recovered from the site of the Gardens of Sallust (Horti Sallustiani) on the Ludovisi estate.
