(1968) Master Bronzes from the Classical World, no 172. Los Angeles: LACMA (scan provided upon request)Note: Dr. Athos Moretti (1907 - 1993) was the director of a major Swiss pharmaceutical company and a significant patron of ancient art. His particular focus was originally upon Magna Graecan and Sicilian coinage, in which he built up one of the most important collections ever assembled. His collection ultimately broadened to include Greek and Roman works of sculpture. Moretti possessed a keen eye for quality and his collection pedigree has become highly prized since his passing. A prolific donor to public institutions, a number of works originally in Moretti's possession now reside in museums around the world.The present piece bears stylistic similarities (specifically with regards to its double ring base and extravagant helmet crest) to the Etruscan bronze figure sold at Sotheby's, 3rd December 2019, lot 8 (also described as originating from the top of a candelabrum). Another notable paralel is the Etruscan bronze depicting the suicide of Ajax, c. 500 - 480 B.C. in the collection of the Florence Museo Archaeologico inv. 12193. For a further example of an Etruscan candelabrum finial with a figure wearing a similar cuirass, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, accession number 47.11.3.
