Meleager Bronze Bust - After Skopas 350 BC

The Legendary Hero in Bronze

This commanding bronze bust of Meleager captures the celebrated Greek hero immortalized by the master sculptor Skopas in 350 BC. With a bronze layered finish, this piece brings the grandeur of classical antiquity and the drama of Greek mythology into your collection.

A Sculpture Coveted by Rome

After the antique sculpture housed in the British Museum, this bust represents one of the most sought-after designs of the ancient world. The original marble of Meleager was in such great demand during the Roman era that it was imported from Greece to adorn the finest villas and public spaces throughout the Empire. For centuries since, it has been copied and admired—a testament to its enduring appeal and artistic excellence.

The Hero of the Calydonian Boar Hunt

Meleager was the legendary prince of Calydon and leader of the famous Calydonian Boar Hunt, one of the great heroic adventures of Greek mythology. His story—marked by courage, tragedy, and fate—has captivated audiences for millennia, and Skopas's interpretation captures the hero's strength, nobility, and complex humanity.

Created by Skopas, one of the greatest sculptors of the 4th century BC, this work showcases the artist's revolutionary ability to convey emotion and movement in stone. Skopas was renowned for his dynamic compositions and expressive faces, bringing a new psychological depth to classical sculpture.
