Item Details
Description
AFTER THE ANTIQUE, A LEAD RELIEF PANEL OF PRIAM KISSING THE HAND OF ACHILLES PROBABLY ITALIAN, MID 19TH CENTURY The scene from Homer's Iliad with the King begging for the return of the body of his fallen son Hector 57cm wide, 18.5cm high, 1.5cm deepProvenance: Property from the Kingshott CollectionPossibly derived in part from a sarcophagus bas-relief. Camillo Pacetti's design for Wedgwood in 1788 seems to have a similar source inspiration from the sarcophagus of Alexander Severus and Julia Mamaea, Capitoline Museum. Most notable is the distinctive modelling of Achilles head turned away from the king- not bent over him as in most depictions of this scene.
