Description

A striking statue of the famous 'Dying Galatian', later widely accepted and named as the 'Dying Gaul'.

This dramatic 19th Century bronze showcases a notorious study, believed to have been originally commissioned in marble, around 220 BC by Attalus I of Pergamon, after his army had defeated the Galatian (Gaulish) people in parts of Anatolia.

The warrior is represented with characteristic Celtic hairstyle and moustache with a Celtic torc around his neck. He sits on his shield while his sword, belt and curved trumpet lie beside him. The sword hilt bears a lion's head. The present base is a 17th-century addition.
