About the Item
Italian Grand Tour Marble Bust of Augustus Caesar, originally known as Octavian. Augustus was Julius Caesar's great-nephew, and Julius Caesar named him as prime beneficiary and his principal heir before his death. The reign of Augustus initiated an era or imperial peace in which the Roman world was largely free of armed conflict. He is renowned as one of the most remarkable leaders in history. Bust features fine-grained white Carrara marble and depicts the first Roman Emperor Augustus/ Octavian as a youth. The sculpture captures the serene, idealized facial features associated with early Roman imperial portraiture such as smooth planes, controlled expression, and the distinctive swept fringe hairstyle. The original bust is in the Vatican collection and dates from the first century BC.
In today's interiors, this bust adds sculptural gravity and contrast against clean lines and neutral palettes, complements academic or European-inspired decor, and is ideal to place on a pedestal, console, or bookcase.

Tenerani Statuary Marble Bust of a Young Augustus Caesar
Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
A finely carved statuary white marble bust of a young Augustus Caesar attributed to the workshops of 19th century Italian sculptor Pietro Tenerani (1789-1869). Also known as Young Octavian, this bust of a young Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar is after a sculpture found in the Pio Clementino Museums of the Vatican.
Carved with exceptional detail, the bust is elevated on a turned socle and bears the name ‘TENERANI’ to the front. Other busts like this one after the Vatican original of the former Emperor Augustus were sculpted in the Mid-18th Century.
Pietro Tenerani (1789-1869) was a notable Italian sculptor of the early 19th century. In his early career, he trained under Italian sculptor Lorenzo Bartolini, before moving to Rome where he won a scholarship as a pupil of Danish sculptor, Bertel Thorvalsden. Having honed his skills, Tenerani worked from a studio of his own in later years. William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire, Queen Victoria and Pope Pius IX...
