Antonio Frilli
White Marble Statue of a Mother and Child by Antonio Frilli (Italian, 1860-1902)

About the Item

Italian Marble statue of a laughing Young mother and her child embracing on a fragmented bench with low relief details by Antonio Frilli (Italian, 1860-1920). This example is characteristic of other Frilli sculptures of joyful children, a subject he frequented. Signed ''A. Frilli'' and inscribed ''Firenze'' by incision to top of base. Artist Bio: Antonio Frilli's prolific gallery produced a variety of commercial sculptures in marble, alabaster and bronze, reflecting the pinnacle of fashionable taste of his time. He is first recorded as an exhibitor at the Espozione Nazionale di Roma in 1883, later exhibiting in Glasgow in 1888 and Paris in 1889. He was central to the circle of renowned Florentine sculptors that comprised Cesare Lapini, Guglielmo Pugi and Ferdinando Vichi who had a close relationship with the productive Barzanti Gallery, Florence. His sculptures embody the principles of late 19th Century academic art, and as a highly technical sculptor his skill is abundantly evident in his tour de force, Nude Reclining in a Hammock (Sotheby's New York, 3 November 1999, lot 62). Dimensions: 18''h, 13.25 ''w, 9''d.
