Cicero - Item #127
Â
18 Inches High x 12 Inches Wide x 10 Inches Deep
It is unknown whether this head is indeed a portrait of Cicero. The Uffizi Gallery and scholars identified it as such for a time, and then thought it was a portrait of Corbulone, a general under Emperor Claudius. The Uffizi has since entitled it "Bust of an unknown man, so-called Cicero." It is a portrait in the Roman Republican style, which used verism (a form of realism) to depict the subject. Several variations of a bust have been added to the head and its reproductions, such as this square version created by P.P. Caproni and Brother.
