Description

The eight sculptures are the greatest achievement of one of the most refined artists of the Renaissance, the Mantuan Pier Jacopo Alari Bonacolsi (1460-1528), known as L'Antico for his ability to make bronzes in the style of classical civilization. He created masterpieces for Isabella d'Este and other Gonzaga; these busts were made for Ludovico, bishop of Mantua from 1483 to 1511, who placed them in his private residence in Gazzuolo, from where they passed to the official residence of the bishops, the current diocesan seminary.

Among the eight busts, this is one of the four bronze busts invented by the Ancient, which was based on a famous portrait of Augustus. The faces are placed on terracotta busts of golden origin, supported by elegant shelves obtained from ancient Corinthian capitals. The set offers an illuminating example of portraiture in Roman times.
