Large bronze l'Amazone Blessée, beautiful numbered cast by Barbedienne.

Magnificent bronze with a medallic patina, based on a bronze work by Phidias, the best existing copy of which is in marble, dating from the second half of the 5th century BC, currently in the Capitoline Museums in Rome.
There is also a famous cast executed by Luigi Valadier around 1780 in Rome for Pierre-Gaspard-Marie Grimod, comte d'Orsay (1748-1829), now in the Vatican Museums ( amazone mattei ).

Dressed in a loose-fitting chiton held at the waist by a kolpos, with her left breast bared, this Amazon stands with one leg braced against a tree trunk, at the foot of which lies her pelta (Amazon shield). She has placed her helmet on the ground and, with an "absent" look on her face and her arm raised above her head, she seems to be drawing her bow to relieve herself.

Very good condition, with a magnificent glazed brown patina.

F.Barbedienne, Fondeur: signed on the terrace, confirming a 19th-century casting (while "Barbedienne fondeur, Paris" indicates an early 20th-century casting).

Numbered in ink under the base 63967 and engraved 011 triple K , affixed to the finest castings.

Height: 61cm
