France, circa 1970/1980, delightful plaster bust of "Tête de Bénévent" in the Antique style, in satin black. Made entirely in plaster, this bust finds its inspiration in Ancient Rome. Its origins lie in a Roman bronze made in 50 BC, unearthed during excavations at Herculaneum. Largely inspired by the athletic figures created by the Greek sculptor Polyclitus in the 5th century BC, this work testifies to the influence of Greek culture on the Roman Empire. The wreath of olive branches, a symbol of victory, suggests that this portrait is that of a young athlete. It was common practice in ancient Greece and Rome to erect statues of victorious athletes. In the 19th century, King Ferdinand II offered it as a diplomatic gift to a member of the Pedicini family, who owned a palace in Benevento, near Naples, hence its current name: "Benevento head". The piece is in good condition, with no dents or cracks. Height: 40 cm, Width 23 cm and Depth 23 cm.
