| Object history |
English: The sculpture of the eagle and the weapons is part of a funerary monument from the period of Emperor Augustus (27 BC–14 AD), and it was found in the country villa of General Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus (64 BC–8 AD). It probably adorned the upper part of a rectangular marble pedestal containing his cinerary urn. Around 1650, at the behest of Cardinal Girolamo Colonna, a bust of the Emperor Claudius (now lost) sculpted by Orfeo Boselli (1600–1667) was placed on top of the eagle. The sculpture then received the mistaken name The Apotheosis of Claudius. The pedestal used by Boselli to complete this monument was made by Andrea Calamech between 1557 and 1589 for Alberico I Cybo Malaspina (1532–1623), the Prince of the Italian cities represented on its four sides. In 1664 Colonna gave the monument to Philip IV of Spain.
Español: La escultura del águila y las armas es parte de un monumento funerario de la época del Emperador Augusto (27 a.C.–14 d.C.), y fue hallada en la villa de campo del General Marco Valerio Mesala Corvino (64 a.C.–8 d.C.). Probablemente adornaba la parte superior de un pedestal de mármol rectangular que contenía su urna cineraria. Hacia 1650 el cardenal Girolamo Colonna encargó a Orfeo Boselli (1600–1667) un busto del Emperador Claudio (hoy perdido) que se puso encima del águila, y la escultura recibió entonces el nombre equivocado de La Apoteosis de Claudio. El pedestal que utilizó Boselli para completar el monumento había sido realizado por Andrea Calamech entre 1557 y 1589 para Alberico I Cybo Malaspina (1532–1623), príncipe de las ciudades italianas representadas en sus cuatro lados. En 1664 Colonna regaló el monumento a Felipe IV de España. |
