Napoleon as Caesar Black & Gilt

Napoleon as Caesar, a bust, after the antique marble by Canova, 1804.

A Basalt black bust, with antique gilt crown, and lettering.

In 1802 Napoleon brought the finest Italian neoclassical sculptor, Antonio Canova, to Paris to do a series of sculptures of Napoleon.

After Napoleon saw one of the pieces, a marble relief with him wearing a laurel crown, he commissioned this large version.

As a standard these large busts are made lighter in weight and not with a solid core, they are still substantial, but manageable, if you require more weight, please inform at time of ordering.

Size.

70 x 60 x 30 cm.
