Historical significance, trivia

The Artemision bronze is one of the nine original surviving large Greek bronzes, which gives it a fundamental, unique significance. In this bronze statue we see the light of Greek classicism unadulterated and in its original form. The other eight surviving Greek bronze statues include the Charioteer of Delphi, the Boxer at Rest, the Hellenistic Prince, the Jockey of Artemision, the Riace bronzes Riace A and Riace B, the Marathon Boy and the Croatian Apoxyomenos. Other Greek masterpieces are either unknown to us or have only survived through their Roman marble copies.

Greece joined the Council of Europe in 1949 and donated a life-size bronze replica of Artemision Bronze to the organisation in 1998. The statue is located in front of the Council of Europe’s main building in Strasbourg. A bronze plaque documents the donation.

Authentic Reproductions of Ancient Bronze Statues: Classical Weathered Patina and, exclusively new and available only with us, the Original Antique Patina based on the latest 2022 Louvre research findings

We offer two exceptional patina options for bronze statues. The first is the classical patina, which beautifully captures the natural weathered appearance of bronze. Since the rediscovery of ancient life-sized bronzes, this patina has become the preferred choice and is available in up to three popular variations.

For enthusiasts seeking an authentic, antique aesthetic, we present a groundbreaking innovation: a faithfully recreated surface finish that matches precisely what the ancient audience would have admired. Thanks to the spectacular research findings published by the Louvre Museum in late 2022, we are now able to replicate the surface of ancient life-sized bronzes with remarkable accuracy. The multi-year study of the Charioteer of Delphi, conducted using cutting-edge technology, revealed that the statue, aside from minor details such as the eyes, headband, and belt, once displayed a high-gloss, golden sheen reminiscent of subtly shimmering gold leaf. It is therefore highly likely that renowned ancient sites, such as Delphi, Olympia, and Delos, presented themselves to ancient visitors with bronze statues gleaming in golden splendour.

This effect was achieved through the use of bronze with a 10% tin content. Armed with this scientifically substantiated knowledge, we can now offer an authentically recreated, antique surface for our reproductions of ancient life-sized bronzes – a level of precision that was unattainable prior to these 2022 research advancements.
