AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent head of the Roman emperor Lucius Verus. Reproduction made in the ArtSolutionsTheming workshops, Morón de la Frontera, Spain,

Representation
Head of Lucius Aurelius Verus (Rome, December 15, 130 – Altinum, January 23, 169), commonly known as Lucius Verus, co-emperor with Marcus Aurelius, from the year 161 until the moment of his death. Lucius Verus and Marcus Aurelius were adoptees of Antoninus Pius.
Verus was the son of Avidia, daughter of the consul Gaius Avidius Nigrinus, and of Lucius Elio Caesar, adopted son, and the expected successor of Emperor Hadrian. When Elio Caesar died in 138, Hadrian chose Antoninus Pius as his successor, on the condition that Antoninus would adopt both Verus (then 7 years old) and Marcus Aurelius, Hadrian’s nephew. As heir apparent, Verus received a refined education from the most renowned grammaticus. It is known that Verus was an excellent student, with interests such as poetry and delivered speeches. info: Wikipedia

Material and Technique
Carved on a limestone conglomerate fused with lime. White in color with semi-marmoreal finishes and aged in mineral pigment. (No epoxy resin, no plaster) The head is presented on a stand of iron enameled in a color and texture of oxide.
Its finish evokes antiquity as an original archaeological piece freshly unearthed from time

Versatility and Functionality of lime-based stone whose characteristics are hardness, beauty, and resistance to temperatures.

Indoor and Outdoor Use
The combination of weight and durability allows it to be placed both in interior and exterior spaces. The lime-based material is favorable to moisture and temperature changes, improving its integrity and long-term resistance. (Ecological conglomerate fused with lime, no resins, no chemical additives...)

Aesthetic Qualities
The beauty of the artisanal finish that emulates the texture of limestone makes this piece an exceptional decorative element with original fidelity. Its sculptural presence adds timeless elegance and sophistication to any setting, giving distinction to your preferred space, study, or commercial areas.

Authenticity and Provenance
The piece is part of a collection from specialized workshops in museum-quality reproductions AST, following traditional sculpture techniques and new technologies with the contribution of a new natural material based on recycled and ecological aggregates.
We offer a unique opportunity to acquire a quality piece that combines the historical legacy of classical art with the durability and beauty of noble materials such as white limestone aged and lime-finished.
