Farnese Bull

The Farnese Bull, formerly in the Farnese collection in Rome, is a massive Roman elaborated copy of a Hellenistic sculpture. Along with the rest of the Farnese antiquities, it has been since 1826 in the collection of the Museo Archeologico Nazionale Napoli in Naples, inv. no. 6002, though in recent years sometimes displayed at the Museo di Capodimonte. The sculpture in Naples is much restored, and includes around the base a child dog and other animals not apparently in the original composition, which is known from versions in other media.
