This statue of Perseus comes from the workshop of Giorgio Sommer, who was born in
Frankfurt am Main. He settled in Naples in 1857, initially with a photographic studio.
From the 1870s onward he opened a workshop there in which he replicated ancient works of
art in bronze and terracotta. His works were widely distributed in the 19th century. The
original that served as a model for this figure dates from Hellenistic times and was found
in Pompeii. It is now in the collection of the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli.

- All sides with age-typical rubbing and fine, superficial scratches. - As on the riginal bronze figure, the casting seams of the individual parts are clearly visible and the rests of the casting channels have not been cleanly removed. These areas appear
