Description
Abstract
Una antigua familia que explotó las minas de la sierra de Cartagena posee dos ánforas romanas y una escultura de bronce que, según la tradición oral, fueron encontradas en la mina Príncipe Alfonso (Llano del Beal, La Unión, Murcia), explotada por la familia entre los siglos XIX y XX. La existencia de un importante yacimiento arqueológico romano en dicha mina y la constatación de que una de las ánforas es una Lamboglia tipo 2 invitan a creer que la escultura procediese del yacimiento. Sin embargo, un análisis pormenorizado de la escultura de bronce revela que se trata de un falso histórico. La obra no carece por ello de interés, puesto que pudo ser creación del «Corro» y «el Rosao», dos célebres falsificadores de innegable capacidad artística. ---------
An old family that exploited the mines of the mountains of Cartagena owns two Roman amphorae and a bronze sculpture that were allegedly found in the mine Príncipe Alfonso (Llano del Beal, La Unión, Murcia), one of the mines exploited by the family between the late 19th and the early 20th century. The existence of an important Roman archaeological site in this mine and the verification of one of the amphorae as a Lamboglia type 2 could make us believe that the bronze sculpture was actually found in this archaeological site. However, an accurate study of the sculpture reveals that it is a forgery. It is nevertheless interesting because the piece may have been made by «el Corro» and «el Rosao», nicknames of two famous forgers with a considerable artistic creativity.
