The Gaddi Torso is a work of art hellenistic marble of the 2nd century BC. J.-C., preserved in the classical sculpture room of the Gallery of Offices in Florence, Italy.

This sculpture was part of a group representing the consequences of love at different times in human life.

This large-format sculpture features a white marble effect finish, evoking the purity and nobility of ancient statues and is presented on a black metal stand.
Every anatomical detail, from pectoral to abdominal, has been carefully worked out to offer a striking rendering of realism and harmony.
The torso, partially turned, gives the piece an impression of motion frozen in time, a characteristic effect of Hellenistic art that aimed to breathe life into inert matter.

It invites contemplation and reflection, while offering an incomparable presence.
