An Italian carved marble bust, late 18th/early 19th century, 'The Albani Faun', after the antique, on a waisted circular socle,53cm high'The Albani Faun', also called 'The Laughing Faun' is a Roman marble c.100BC, which currently resides in the Munich Glyptothek. It was formerly part of the collection of the Albani Family, and may have adorned the bedroom of Cardinal Albani himself. In 1797, it was taken from Rome to Paris as one of the hundred works of art claimed by Napoleon's army after the invasion of the Papal States. Following the defeat of Napoleon twenty or so years later, the sculptor Antonio Canova was instated as 'Minister Plenipotentiary of the Pope' and tasked with recovering the artworks taken by Napoleon. However, the marble was not returned to the Albani family, possibly owing to transportation costs, and was thus sold in Paris to Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria, with whom it travelled to Munich.
