Getting started with the collection:
Titus Flavius Domitianus
after design by Bartholomeus Eggers, after 1674
Bartholomeus Eggers was commissioned in 1674 to make twelve marble busts of Roman emperors for the grounds of Oranienburg Palace near Berlin. Some of these busts resemble the four lead portraits in the Rijksmuseum garden. Presumably, the models that Eggers made were acquired by a metal caster, who used them to make these lead versions.
