Description:
|
|
Roman marble group depicting a man in the act of plunging a sword into his breast, looking backwards defiantly while he supports the dying figure of a woman with his left arm. It is a Roman copy of the early 2nd century CE, of a Hellenistic original, ca 230-220 BCE, one of the bronze groups commissioned from Greek sculptors by Attalus I at Pergamon after his recent victories over the Gauls of Galatia. Other Roman marble copies from the same project are the equally famous Dying Gaul, and the less well-known Kneeling Gaul. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
