Abstract
The well-known bronze statuette called “Alexander with the Lance” was given to the Fogg Art Museum in 1956 by the late C. Ruxton Love, Jr. (Acc. No. 1956.20). Its former history is only partially known. The bronze was first published in 1898 by Oskar Wulff,1 who stated that it appeared in a bazaar in Istanbul shortly before that date. A. von Nelidow, the Russian Ambassador to Rome, bought the bronze, which henceforth is referred to as the Alexander Nelidow. The bronze was sold with the Nelidow Collection in Paris at the Galerie Georges Petit in 1911, and its whereabouts from this time until its loan by Mr. Love to the Fogg in 1954 is unknown. At the time of the original publication, the bronze appeared to be in much the same condition as it is now, except for the restoration of the legs from the knees down, which occurred between its sale in 1911 and its loan to the Fogg in 1954.
