In this sculptural group conceived in the classical manner Philip V wears a Roman-style cuirass and a curly wig of the French type. Vaccaro’s bronze is a small-scale version of his equestrian monument of the Spanish monarch erected in the square of the Gesù Nuovo in Naples in 1705. Cast by the Neapolitan silversmith Antonio Perrella, that work was destroyed by the Austrian troops in 1707.
