Gladiator Statue

Statue of a fallen gladiator "Le gladiateur mourant". This 1681 statue depicted a muscular gladiator sitting with his sword in front of him.

This is a fine art print of a beautiful engraving of a statue at Versaille Palace in France made in 1689 by Simon Thomassin. It's from his work "Recuel des Statue, Groupes, Fontaines, Termes, Vases et Autres Mangifique Ornamens du Chateau et Parc de Versailles", which shows the magnificent statues, fountains and ornaments at the Palace of Versaille.
