About the Item
Acquire a rare piece of art history with this monumental mid-19th century life-size plaster cast of Marsyas, produced by the renowned Brussels Atelier de Moulages. Bearing the official "Musée Royal" inventory seal (No. 1751) on the base, this impressive sculpture depicts the Greek mythological satyr Marsyas, bound and awaiting his tragic fate after challenging Apollo to a musical contest. The figure is rendered with breathtaking anatomical precision, capturing the tension in the musculature and the harrowing emotion of the Classical original. This piece exemplifies the height of the Academic tradition and the 19th-century "Grand Tour" fascination with antiquity.
Standing at a commanding 51 inches tall, 15 inches wide, and 11 inches deep, this sculpture is a true statement piece destined for a grand entryway, a collector's library, or an artist’s studio. The plaster surface has developed a soft, matte patina over the last century, softening the stark white to a warm, historic cream tone. It is in great antique condition, with minor chips, surface wear, and age-appropriate weathering that attest to its authenticity and long life as a study piece. This is not merely decor, but a preserved artifact of European museum history
