专家说明

The original statue was commissioned by the government of Louis-Philippe in 1832 and the marble, completed in 1837, was installed in the Jardin des Tuileries as part of a program of didactic statues. In 1859, it became part of the Louvre Collection. David d'Angers has captured the Greek General towards the end of the Battle of Sellasia (222B.C.), illustrating an episode from Plutarch's Lives. A bronze model of Philopoemen by David d’Angers, from the Schlossberg Collection, was exhibited as cat. no. 39 at the Frick in 2013.
