The Last Day of Corinth

Last Day of Corinth

Another interesting development this week with the discovery that Joseph Guardo, under the moniker Giuseppe (Peppino) Guardo, sculpted a Decorative Relief Panel in 1928/1929 representing the Last Day of Corinth. As per the description he wrote (in Italian) on the back of a rare photo from the period, it  was based on a picture of the original Painting. We are aware of at least three copies held in Private collections, and have included photos of them, along with a photo of the original Painting currently displayed at the Musée d'Orsay in France. Also included, is a link to the museum website.
