From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chimera of Arezzo is regarded as the best example of Ancient Etruscan artwork.[1] British art historian, David Ekserdjian, said the sculpture "is one of the most arresting of all animal sculptures and the supreme masterpiece of Etruscan bronze-casting."[2] Made entirely of bronze and measuring in at Ht 78.5 cm, L 129 cm[3], it was found alongside a small collection of other bronze statues in Arezzo, an ancient Etruscan and Roman city in Tuscany. Meant to be apart of a larger sculpture which represents a fight between a Chimera and Greek hero Bellerophon, this sculpture was likely created as a votive offering to the Greek god Tinia.
