Imposantes, extrem seltenes neoklassizistisches Reiterstandbild des „Duce“ Benito Mussolini mit dem „Schwert des Islam“ aus Bronze Ende der 1930er Jahredie vom Künstler idealisierte Darstellung im Stil des auch im italienischen Faschismus beliebten Neoklassizismus zeigt den damals mächtigsten Mann Italiens, Benito Mussolini (*1883 † 1945), auf dem Rücken eines Pferdes wie er das bedeutsame Zeremonienschwert gen Himmel streckt. Dieses Schwert (das Schwert des Islam, italienisch La Spada dell’Islam, arabisch Islām-Sayf al) welches Mussolini 1937 vor den Toren Tripolis überreicht wurde sollte seine Rolle als „Verteidiger des Islam“ unterstreichen. Der „Duce“ ist in Uniform dargestellt und trägt die Halskette der Heiligen Verkündigung. Die Skulptur ist vermutlich vom römischen Bildhauer Quirino Ruggeri (*1883 † 1955) welcher während der Kolonialzeit auf dem Burgplatz von Tripolis ein fast identisches Reiterdenkmal aufstellen lies. Das angebotene Kunstwerk ist sehr selten da es nur in einem kurzen Zeitraum an ranghohe Offiziere, politisch wichtige Persönlichkeiten und an Staatsgäste übergeben wurde. Der Erhaltungsgrad ist sehr gut, die Bronze hat eine schöne Patina und selbst das Schwert ist im tadellosen Originalzustand. Provenienz: Süddeutsche Privatsammlung. Ges. H. 74cm. Gewicht 19kg.
