French or Italian school of the 19th century. "Bust of Lucius Verus. Bronze. Measurements: 23 x 11 x 10 cm. The luxuriant beard and the curly hair show that we are in front of a bust of Lucius Verus, Roman co-emperor together with Marcus Aurelius, from the year 161 until the time of his death in 169. Lucius Verus and Marcus Aurelius were adopted sons of Antoninus Pius by order of Hadrian and the first two who reigned together in the history of Rome. This is a sculpture made during the "Grand Tour", a term that first appeared in "Le Voyage d'Italie" by Richard Lassels, was used to define the long journey through Europe, especially Italy, that young British aristocrats used to undertake from the seventeenth century onwards, but especially throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The aim of the trip was for the young men to get to know the art and culture of France and Italy mainly, to admire classical art at first hand, to learn or improve their language skills, and to establish contacts and relationships with the cultural and political elites of these countries. Often, travelers were looking for pieces with which to start their own art collections, objects to take back to their places of residence as souvenirs. For this reason, workshops specialized in replicating Roman pieces, both in bronze and marble, sprang up, some of which acquired a great reputation.
