"simonscloset:  cavetocanvas:  Dying Gaul (Dying Trumpeter) Marble, c.. 220 BCE. Roman copy of Greek bronze original. Things to think about when studying: What artistic period is this from? Which elements of the sculpture are indicative of that period? This sculpture was super popular - how did people demonstrate how much they liked it?  I don't remember the first two but I do remember that people copied it endlessly and that seeing this sculpture was part of a ""grand tour"" of Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. Oh and Napoleon stole it.  Also, this happened:  John DeAndrea (American, born 1941), Dying Gaul , 1984, polyvinyl and polychrome with pigment. On display at the Portland Art Museum"
