- GRAND TOUR BRONZE MODEL OF THE DANCING
GRAND TOUR BRONZE MODEL OF THE DANCING FAUN OF POMPEIIRaised on a marble base.
12 1/4 x 5 x 6 in., overall.
Note: The first version of this dancing faun was discovered in October 1830, installed in the middle of an impluvium, the pool in the atrium, of a Pompeiian house that filled an entire city block. The house was named the House of the Faun after the statuette, which, much like the great Alexander Mosaic from the same house, immediately became famous.
In 1860, under Victor Emmanuel II, the antiquities from Pompeii were put on view for the general public in the National Archaeological Museum at Naples. Permits for taking molds from antiquities in order to copy them were soon granted to various individuals and institutions. The reproductions that these enterprises offered were often reduced in scale, making them easy for Grand Tourists to take home to northern Europe, Britain, or America. This statuette is surely a souvenir of the Grand Tour.
