Galatian In The Act Of Falling

A Roman marble copy of a lost Hellenistic sculpture, originally thought to have been cast in bronze. The replica comes from the Antoninian age (the second half of the 2nd century B.C.), and has been restored in modern times. The statue is а one of three forming the group known as "The Grimani Galatians" (I Galati Grimani), a set of three sculptures depicting Gauls owned by Domenico Grimani, a 16th century nobleman and cardinal. His collection now forms a part of the Musei Civici di Venezia in the Doge's Palace, found in Venice.本件藏品为一件已失传的希腊化雕塑的罗马大理石复制品，原作最初被认为曾以青铜铸造。该复制品制作于安东尼尼安时期（公元前2世纪后半叶），后经现代修复。此雕像为一组名为《格里马尼高卢人》（I Galati Grimani）的三件组雕之一，这套以高卢人为表现主题的三件雕塑曾为16世纪贵族兼枢机主教多梅尼科·格里马尼的私藏。其藏品现馆藏于威尼斯总督宫的威尼斯市政博物馆（Musei Civici di Venezia）。
