14 apr 2023 · The Dying Gaul is a famous Hellenistic bronze sculpture from ancient Greece that dates back to the 3rd century BC. The sculpture depicts a wounded Gallic warrior who is in the process of dying, hence the name “Dying Gaul” or “Dying Galatian”.
The Dying Gaul combines admiration (Celts meet death with courage), insult (Celts are animalistic), truth (Celts wear torcs), and fiction (Celts always lose).
The centre of the room features the so-called "Dying Galatian", one of the best-known and most important works in the museum. It is a replica of one of the sculptures in the ex-voto group dedicated to Pergamon by Attalus I to commemorate the victories over the Galatians in the III and II centuries BC.
The sculpture was a favourite amongst the dilettanti of the neo-classical era, and it often features prominently in paintings of wealthy collectors in front of their repositories of art. Its fame was boosted by the restoration of the right arm, by Michelangelo.
