Description
A GRAND TOUR GLASS CAST IMPRESSION. MYTHOLOGICAL SCENE. 18th - 19th century25x32x6,5 mmOn the right, Hercules seated on his lion skin with the club, hands tied behind his back; next to it a double human face like a gryllos. On the left, a standing female figure, probably Dejanira (?) with an Erote riding a creature (a chip prevents the complete reading of the scene). Above, another Erote with a lyre. Probably a Renaissance allegory of the triumph of the Love. The model seems to be inspired by an ancient intaglio from the Granducal Collection called "Sigillo di Nerone" with Apollo and Marsyas. The glass impression instead seems to be stylistically after a Renaissance stone. Wear marks and chips on the edge. Provenance: U.K private collection
