BRONZES FROM THE MORGAN COLLECTION in MR. FRICK'S LIVING HALL
M.B.19. NEPTUNE AND SEA-MONSTER. BELLANO. Full-length nude, standing on the back of a sea dragon which he holds with a bridle, while the monster, impatient of restraint, tosses its head backwards with wide open jaws. The head of the god, which is massive and powerfully modeled is bent forward looking down. He presses his knee against the monsters head and rests his heel upon its tail, raising his trident aloft as if to urge it forward, the composition is finely conceived and the workmanship is admirable. Spitzer Hainaueer Collections. Plate XVI. H. 13-1/2 inches. L. 11-1/4 inches. Too much. 100,000. One of the best. A beauty. L5000-6000.
