The garland tied around the neck and the gilding of the horns mark this bull as a sacrificial animal. In the Hellenistic period, the use of luxurious gold and silver tableware was a feature of aristocratic life. Opulent vessels combining silver and gold for the color contrast, such as this cup, were especially desirable. Although many vessels in the form of animal heads or with separable liners are known, this vessel, with its combination of these elements, is unique. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCup in the Form of a Bull's Head, 100-1 BCE \u003cbr\u003eEast Greece\u003cbr\u003eSilver with leaf gilding \u003cbr\u003e9 x 12.1 x 10.7 cm (3 9\/16 x 4 x 4 in.) \u003cbr\u003eThe J.

A pair of robust thighs serves as an elegant base. From inside this form rises a taller and more slender lower torso. Finally, an almost full-length torso rests within the first two pieces. Because the work is made of extremely thin bronze, the viewer can actually peek inside these forms. Throughout his career, René Magritte often revisited and revised his own imagery. This sculpture's motif is taken from a painting of the same title he created in 1962. Best known as a painter, Magritte's decision to produce sculpture toward the end of his life grew out of a conversation with his dealer Alexandre Iolas. Iolas suggested that Magritte produce a suite of sculpture based on his vast catalogue of paintings. Magritte selected images from eight paintings to be recreated as three-dimensional objects. For each sculpture, Magritte made a series of careful sketches that became the basis for wax casts. Though he died before the sculptures were cast in bronze, Magritte made several significant adjustments to the wax models and signed them when he visited the foundry in Verona, Italy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSource Object:\u003cbr\u003e Title: \u003cem\u003eLa Folie Des Grandeurs (Delusion of Grandeur)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Artist\/Maker: René Magritte (Belgian, 1898 - 1967) \u003cbr\u003eCulture: Belgian \u003cbr\u003eDate: 1967 \u003cbr\u003eMedium: Bronze \u003cbr\u003eObject Number: 2005.112 \u003cbr\u003eDimensions: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e152.4 × 121.9 × 83.8 cm, 242.6744 kg (60 × 48 × 33 in., 535 lb.) \u003cbr\u003e© C.

Such cuirassed statues were a popular form of sculpture used to honor emperors, their male relatives, victorious generals, and military heroes. On most cuirassed statues, the breastplate is very elaborate with symbolic and allegorical relief decoration, which emphasized the emperor’s power. This example is unusual because the breastplate is a basic rendition of the human musculature and is not decorated. This lack of ornament probably indicates that the statue did not represent the emperor or his family but a general. The pteryges, or tabs on the bottom of the breastplate, however, are decorated. They show a number of motifs, including palmettes, rosettes, gorgon heads, lion and lynx heads, ram heads, and most significantly, an eagle clutching the underbelly of a hare. The use of this hare motif, as well as the general pose and style of the carving of the statue, indicate that it dates to the Flavian dynasty, specifically in the early rule of the emperor Domitian. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Material: Bonded Marble with faux finish\u003cbr\u003e- Dimensions: 7 1\/2 x 4 x 4 inches (L x W x H) \u003cbr\u003e- Gift box included \u003cbr\u003e- Item #: MRTORSO\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSource Object: \u003cbr\u003eTitle: Torso of a Cuirassed Statue \u003cbr\u003eArtist\/Maker: Unknown \u003cbr\u003eCulture: Roman \u003cbr\u003ePlace: Italy (Place Created) \u003cbr\u003eDate: about CE 81-96\u003cbr\u003eMedium: Marble \u003cbr\u003eObject Number: 71.AA.436 \u003cbr\u003eDimensions: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e107.5 × 78.7 × 34.3 cm (42 5\/16 × 31 × 13 1\/2 inches)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GETTY TRUST PUBLICATIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43410857033920,"sku":"MRTORSO","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8502\/products\/MRTORSO_a.jpg?v=1674597002"},{"product_id":"venus-sculpture-reproduction-1","title":"Venus - Reproduction","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2nd-century CE statue that inspired this reproduction portrays Venus enfolding herself in drapery that modestly covers yet also sensuously reveals her nudity.

This depiction of Venus ultimately derived from an extremely popular cult statue known as the Aphrodite of Knidos, which was created by the sculptor Praxiteles about 350 BCE.

This sculpture's motif is taken from a painting of the same title he created in 1962. Best known as a painter, Magritte's decision to produce sculpture toward the end of his life grew out of a conversation with his dealer Alexandre Iolas. Iolas suggested that Magritte produce a suite of sculptures based on his vast catalogue of paintings. Magritte selected images from eight paintings to be recreated as three-dimensional objects. For each sculpture, Magritte made a series of careful sketches that became the basis for wax casts. Though he died before the sculptures were cast in bronze, Magritte made several significant adjustments to the wax models and signed them when he visited the foundry in Verona, Italy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSource Object:\u003cbr\u003eTitle: \u003cem\u003eLa Folie Des Grandeurs (Delusion of Grandeur)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist\/Maker: \u003cspan\u003eRené \u003c\/span\u003eMagritte (Belgian, 1898 - 1967)\u003cbr\u003eCulture: Belgian\u003cbr\u003eDate: 1967\u003cbr\u003eMedium: Bronze\u003cbr\u003eObject Number: 2005.112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/span\u003e152.4 × 121.9 × 83.8 cm, 242.6744 kg (60 × 48 × 33 in., 535 lb.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e© C.

Glazed in a luminous turquoise, a hole on the lower part of the spine suggests that the cat originally served as an incense burner. Created for export to Europe, the cat was adorned in mid-eighteenth-century France with eyes in enameled glass and mounted on a gilt bronze stool with a richly ornamented cushion. These transformed pieces were highly desirable by the most discerning collectors. Purrquoise is said to have been part of the collection of the Marquise de Pompadour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Material: Resin with metal accents\u003cbr\u003e- Dimensions: 6 in H x 3 in W x 4 in L\u003cbr\u003e- Made in China\u003cbr\u003e- Item #:  CH07\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSource Object:\u003cbr\u003eTitle: \u003cem\u003eCat\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist\/Maker: Unknown\u003cbr\u003eCultures: Chinese and French\u003cbr\u003ePlace: China and France\u003cbr\u003eDate: 1700–1755\u003cbr\u003eMedium: Porcelain, glass, and gilded bronze\u003cbr\u003eObject Number: 2024.127\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 45 × W: 30 × D: 22 cm \u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e(17 11⁄16 × 11 13⁄16 × 8 11⁄16 in.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e© 2025 J.
