After Pierre Julien, Gladiateur Mourant, a patinated bronze model of a... After Pierre Julien (French, 1731 - 1804), Gladiateur Mourant, a patinated bronze model of a dying gladiator, third quarter 19th century, portrayed as `heroically nude` but for drapery across his loins, resting on his right knee and leaning back against his oval shield, his head with tousled hair and beard, bent forwards to look down at a laurel wreath beneath his left hand on a rock beside him, his gladius on the ground beneath him, on an integrally cast rectangular base, 60cm high, 42cm wide Julien`s original work, in marble is held at the Louvre in paris. This was Pierre Julien s second admission piece for the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture and a crucial work for him. He had presented another piece for admission in 1776, a statue of Ganymede (also at the Louvre) and had been refused, but on the encouragement of his friends he persevered and presented Dying Gladiator to the Académie in 1778. He was admitted on 27 March 1779 and appointed an assistant teacher in 1781 In this scholarly work, Julien demonstrated his mastery of academic criteria whilst asserting personal qualities. The statue is a proclamation of his knowledge of antique sculpture in which he was clearly reinterpreting the Dying Gladiator in the Capitoline Museum in Rome, a marble copy of which he had sculpted during his stay at the Académie de France in Rome from 1769 to 1772

An Italian sculpted alabaster model of the Venus de` Medici An Italian sculpted alabaster model of the Venus de` Medici, last quarter 19th century, after the Antique original, portrayed standing and nude, her head turned to sinister, her hands raised to cover her modesty, a support beside her left leg sculpted as a dolphin with twin amorini, on a circular base, 93cm high; above an Italian sculpted alabaster pedestal, also last quarter 19th century, with circular top above a baluster shaft carved with grotesque masks and fruit swags, on a waisted socle and triform base carved with three scrolling acanthus leaf feet, 75cm high; height overall 168cm The Venus de` Medici or Medici Venus is a lifesized Hellenistic work in marble depicting the Greek goddess of love Aphrodite. It is probably in itself a 1st century B.C. copy of an earlier Greek bronze, possibly cast in Athens and following the type of the Aphrodite of Cnidos, which would have been made by a sculptor in the immediate Praxitelean tradition. It has become one of the `navigation points` by which the progress of the Western classical tradition is traced, the references to it an outline of the changes of taste and the process of classical scholarship. It is housed in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence, having been repatriated to Italy in 1815 after the reversal of Napoleon`s previous policy to obtain (largely by military and diplomatic force) the finest ancient works in Italy for Paris
