About the Item
This lamb is also featured in my statue of Saint David. It conveys such character and gentleness that I decided to present it as a sculpture in its own right. I lays on a base of black and gold marble called Portoro marble from the Gulf of Poets, in the Ligurian Province of La Spezia, Italy. I modelled the lamb during the spring which allowed me to study them first hand where I literally took physical measurements from them (when they kept still). Modelled in plaster, moulded in silicone rubber and cast in bronze using the lost wax process. The bronze casting was then sandblasted and hot patinated with the chemical titanium white and finished with liming wax.

Intrinsically artistic and previously trained as a precision engineer Barry Davies started up a small business in 1989 as a cabinet maker. He introduced carving to embellish the furniture which proved popular with clients. The carving rapidly developed to sculpture and realising the need to extend his knowledge of the traditions of sculpture, Davies studied Art History with the Open University. He developed the use of the golden ratio to proportion his works as did renaissance sculptors Donatello and Michelangelo. He has sculpted portrait busts of Julius Caesar, Shakespeare and many others from solid Cararra marble blocks imported from Italy. He also sculpted a statue of 16th century Bishop William Morgan who translated the Bible from Hebrew into Welsh. Davies' passion for anthropology, palaeontology and anatomical study has led him to not only create bronze sculptures but also tutoring classes in clay modelling of these subjects. Since 2010 Davies has exhibited his sculptures in the UK and Europe. The international exhibitions include venues in Chelsea, London,- Uffizi gallery, Florence, - Bramante Halls, Rome,- Flangini Palace, Venice - Milan - Verona and Barcelona. Davies now creates 3/4 life-size statues of historical figures namely St.david, Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (Llywelyn the Great) ,a thoroughbred horse and the Coronation of Henry V. He was a member of a panel of judges of the prestigious ‘Visual Art Open’ in Chester, UK. Davies' sculptures are the culmination of decades of study of human and animal anatomy, classical, renaissance and Baroque sculpture creating his own unique style in figurative statuary and depicting natural history in bronze.

- Bust of Pope Innocent XI Odescalchi by Domenico GuidiLocated in New Orleans, LAThis monumental bust is a museum-quality example of Roman Baroque sculpture. Crafted by the legendary Domenico Guidi and carved from Carrara marble, the impressive portrait captures the visage of Pope Innocent XI, Benedetto Odescalchi (1611-1689). It presents a larger-than-life example of Guidi’s remarkable skill as a sculptor, which ultimately made his workshop one of the most important in Rome during his age. Today, his works are rarely found on the market, particularly his extraordinary works in marble. Pope Innocent XI was born Benedetto Odescalchi into an Italian noble family of prominent bankers. Spending his early years in banking, he eventually turned to the law, earning his doctorate in 1639. His background would serve him well in his service to the papacy, and he became known as a frugal and devout member of the Church. In 1676, he was unanimously elected Pop after the death of Clement X. During his nearly 13-year reign, he instilled his own personal ideals of austerity and frugality onto the Church, with a deep commitment to reform and piety. He is captured here by Guidi in his traditional Pope’s mozzetta and camauro cap. A wide stole is draped over his shoulders, ornamented by acanthus leaves and the coat of arms of the Odescalchi family. It displays Guidi’s mastery over the chiaroscuro effect, particularly in the high level of contrast in his cheeks and his eyes, which Guidi achieved through various methods of high polish. A very similar portrait sculpture of Pope Innocent XI by Guidi can be found in the collection of the Royal Castle in Warsaw. The Warsaw bust belongs to a series of portraits of popes which the Odescalchi family commissioned from Domenico Guidi in the 1690s. Compared to that example, the present bust is far more dramatic, with deeper cut lines and a more precise expression. It is likely that the present piece was seen by the Odescalchi family, who ordered a similar one to be made. The piece was almost certainly intended to be displayed in a niche, given its dramatic cutting and its roughly carved back. Others of Guidi’s busts can be found in important collections throughout Italy, England and the United States, though many of these are lesser bronze repetitions. A bronze bust of the Pope Alexander VIII by Guidi is currently in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), while a terracotta version of the same is in the Los Angeles County Museum. A bronze of Pope Alexander VIII can be found in the Princely Collection of Lichtenstein, and his impressive marble papal bust of Clement IX graces the pope’s tomb in Santa Maria Maggiore. The present bust of Pope...Category
