A rare Renaissance bone panel of Laocoön, mid-16th century, the small section carved after the antique marble between zigzig and fine gadroon borders, 6.5cm This plaque probably formed part of the side of a casket where bone was the usual choice of material. The zigzag ribbon at the base was a common motif of the period - see the bone casket in the British Museum, illustrated in 'Objects of Virtue', Luke Syson and Dora Thornton, 2004, pls 41, 42. Bone carvings, such as the present example, are traditionally attributed to the Florence studio of the Embriachi family, although it is possibly too early here. The famous Roman marble of Laocoön and his sons, itself a copy of the Greek, was unearthed in a vineyard in Rome in 1506 and caused something of a sensation. This, and other comparable sculpture, led to a sea-change in the way the human figure was viewed after the Classical and characteristic of the Renaissance. It was Laocoön who advised his fellow Trojans to reject the Greeks' gift of the wooden horse. While his advice was debated, two huge snakes suffocated his sons. CONDITION REPORT: Formerly attached to a casket.
