Lost wax bronze replica.
Author: Aristeas and Papias of Aphrodisias
In Greek mythology a centaur, or hippocentaur, is a being halfway between human and animal, with the bust and head of a man and the body and legs of an animal.
This sculpture is famous for being part of a pair of centaurs called Centauri Furietti, also known as Old Centaur and Young Centaur when treated separately. The Old Centaur, unlike the Young Centaur smiling, pawing and energetic, seems to be resigned, with his gaze turned back, his bearded face and an expression of suffering on his face. The original masterpiece is located inside the Capitoline Museums in Rome.
