| Summary: | The main aim of this article is to analyze how plaster casts contributed to the fame of the Charioteer of Delphi, an ancient bronze discovered in 1896 by a French archaeological mission. The research addresses how the Louvre sought to create an association between the sculpture and the Parisian museum through the exhibition of a plaster in their venue and the sale of its casts. Moreover, the argument delves into the study case of Buenos Aires’ Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes’ consumption of a plaster of the Charioteer. It will be argued that the Charioteer’s canonical status was achieved by its location in Paris, only enabled by its copies. |
