Hannibal Sebastien Slodtz

This work by Sebastien Slodtz, depicting the great Carthaginian general Hannibal after his victory over the Romans at Cannae in 216 BC, was based on a small model by Francois Girardon.
Initially intended for the park of Versailles, it evokes the military glory of the ancient generals and, symbolically, that of King Louis XIV.
Nicolas Coustou was commissioned to produce a companion piece – the statue of Julius Caesar which is on display next to this one at the Louvre.

I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.

The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.

Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.

★ Can be placed in the living room, garden, bonsai office, bedroom, bookstore, study, library, store, desk, car.
★ Gift idea for your friends and family, for those who are struggling, tired, depressed.

Material: natural marble
