Laurent Delvaux (1696, Ghent – 24 February 1778, Nivelles) was a Flemish sculptor. After a successful international career that brought him to London and Rome, he returned to the Austrian Netherlands where he was a sculptor to the court. Delvaux was a transitional figure between the Baroque and Neo-classicism. Delvaux created a series of twelve busts of Roman emperors in the Warandepark in Brussels which have been display there permanently since 1782. They are aranged around a fountain, carved out of white marble each with their armour in a jasper-coloured marble. The sculptures are almost unrecognizable as their faces have weathered quite drastically but it is presumed that this piece depicts Emperor Caligula   This object is part of "Scan The World".
