Ombra Della Sera Bronze Sculpture

~Ombra Della Sera Bronze Sculpture~

Ombra della sera (Italian for “Shadow of the evening”) is an Etruscan statue from the town of Velathri. It was first depicted in a 1737 collection of Etruscan antiquities. Similarities to the work of modern artist Alberto Giacometti have been frequently observed. The statue represents a nude male with a very elongated body but head in normal proportions. It is estimated by archaeologists to date from the third century BC. This copy is approximately 28cm high and has a faint foundry mark on the back.
