Meleager Hunting the Boar

Pseudo-Melioli

Not on view

The plaquette depicts Meleager on horseback hunting the Calydonian Boar. Other versions are in the Bode Museum, Berlin, the Louvre, Paris, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; the figure of Meleager has been derived from an antique sarcophagus relief. This work is an aftercast, possibly from the seventeenth century.
