Muschelblasender Triton, Statuette, Bronze

1. Viertel 17. Jahrhundert | Nicolo Roccatagliata

Bronze statues which were archaeological finds were very popular in the Renaissance. Small bronze figures similar to the antique originals had been produced in Italy since the 15th century. This one here was probably made by the bronze sculptor Niccoló Roccatagliata (1593-1636). The fish-tailed Triton was the son of the seagod Poseidon.
