Marine Scene

Caradosso Foppa

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a round, bas-relief medallion featuring multiple figures engaged in various activities. Two nude male figures are in the center, with one holding a large animal hide over his shoulder. To the left, there is a figure wearing a hat and knee-length tunic or armor, interacting with another seated figure near a large net. In the background, a ship with a mast is visible. The sculpture is made of bronze, evident from its brown patina. The scene is within a circular border with visible holes at the top and bottom. The details show depth and narrative through dynamic poses and a textured background.
