Photograph of an injured gladiator, Capitoline Museum, Rome, early 20th century, 37x30 cm.

An old black and white photograph depicting the famous Wounded Gladiator (Gladiatore moribondo), an ancient sculpture preserved at the Museo Capitolino in Rome. The original printed legend states: "ROMA – Museo Capitolino – Gladiatore moribondo". This print likely belongs to an Italian documentary series dedicated to the masterpieces of Roman museums. The presentation and typography of the legend evoke the works of major Italian photographic publishers from the early 20th century, such as Fratelli Alinari, Brogi, or Domenico Anderson. Presented under glass in a gilded wooden frame with a mount (a more recent assembly), this photograph is a beautiful decorative object for a library, a cabinet of curiosities, or an interior inspired by classical art. Frame dimensions: 37 X 30 cm. Overall good condition. Slight signs of use on the frame, consistent with its age.
