Detail of a Roman Emperor in the Walters Art Museum, September 2009

Detail of a Roman Emperor in the Walters Art Museum, September 2009

A Roman Emperor

Creator: French (Artist)

Period: 1710-1740

Medium: marble (Sculpture)

Accession Number: 27.532

Measurements: H: 70 1/16 in. (178 cm)

Geographies: France (Place of Origin)

This figure's armor and laurel wreath identify him as a Roman emperor. Such statues were often placed in courtyards or gardens and were intended to validate the aristocrats' authority by associating them with the traditions and power of the imperial past. This emperor's twisting pose and graceful gesture, so characteristic of the baroque style, suggests that he originally guided the viewer's gaze towards another figure or a distant vista.
