The plaster, a unique work, was purchased in 1941 by the Professional Fascist Confederation and Artists, with the title The prisoner. Exhibited at the III Roman Biennale in 1925, it was noted as a sculpture of remarkable quality, made by a young Apulian artist whose it is legitimate to foresee a happy future (LANCELLOTT1, 1926, p. 96). In the work, performed in the artist's early Roman years, after a period of crisis and loneliness, almost "as a materialization of his own feeling of defeat" (VINNUTELLI, 1925, p. 134), influences and suggestions of a very different nature converge , ranging from Greco-Roman art to Michelangelo's work and Adolfo Wildt's sculptures. In all likelihood, the groups of figures in the pediments of the temple of Zeus in Olympia and the Belvedere Torso were decisive from antiquity, while Michelangelo's sculptures should be mentioned in the Medici tombs in the New Sacristy in San Lorenzo in Florence. Of Wildt's works, which had impressed Martinez, remember the headless torso Il crociato, from 1906 (dispersed bronze; plaster is found in Ca 'Pesaro, Galleria Internazionale d'Arte Moderna, Venice), the marble Vir temporis acti, 1911 (dispersed), which proposes a very similar torso, and in general the concept and treatment of the face, emaciated and smooth, interpreted as a mask of pain. And on a mask, of uncertain meaning - perhaps it is a reminder of the general theme of pain - the hands of the Vanquished rest, crossed behind his back. The introduction of the style of the torso was made necessary since only in this way, with the cut of the legs at the height of the knees, could the figure reach that closed, rounded shape desired by the artist.
