About the Item
Dante meets Virgil - Sculpture is a rare and magnificent artwork realized by the renowned sculptor Pericle Fazzini during the 20th century.
Bonded bronze high relief sculpture. Edition of 9 exemplars.
Rotating sculpture mounted on a plexiglass base. Original title along the right side (visible in photo): Dante incontra Virgilio.
Dimensions: cm 33 x 2,3 x 25. Excellent conditions.
Inspired by the Divine Comedy where Dante meets Virgil, narrated in the first song of Dante's Hell, this artwork is characterized by an undulating rhythm made through sinuous and elongated figures. The dynamism of the scene is accentuated by Virgil's clothes which simulate an upward movement. Not even a centimeter of the space is static, traversed by the jagged rocks, the choppy sea and the leaden sky.
