Amusing 19th Century Italian Bronze of a Screaming Baby Holding a Cockerel
About the Item
An amusing 19th century Italian bronze of a screaming baby holding a cockerel.
For some reason the toddler has decided it would be a good idea to pick up a cockerel. The cockerel is not happy about this and is clearly flapping and struggling wildly. A clever bronze, almost like a photo snapshot of a funny family moment.
Adriano Cecioni Firenze (1836-1886)
Cecioni studied at the Acadamy of Florence, he lived in London for a while working as an illustrator for Vanity Fair. You can see this storytelling in his bronze work, he favoured narrative groups.

Adriano Cecioni
Adriano Cecioni was born in Florence in 1836 into a middle-class family belonging to the local gentry. He began his artistic training in 1859 at the Florentine Academy under the sculptor Aristodemo Costoli. In 1860, Cecioni participated in a competition to provide military artworks for the Tuscan government. His submission, a maquette for a statue of Charles Albert of Savoy, won a prize but was deemed unsatisfactory by academicians and was not commissioned. In 1863, Cecioni received a grant and went to Naples, where he was instrumental in the formation of the artists' group Scuola di Resina. A major work of this period was his sculpture, The Suicide, which he exhibited at the Florence Academy in 1867. In 1872, Cecioni spent six months in London, where he contributed a series of caricatures to Vanity Fair magazine. After he returned to Italy, the sculptures he produced for the rest of his career were mainly genre works, often humorous. He died in Italy in 1886. His work is in some serious Italian collections, including Galleria d'Arte Moderna di Palazzo Pitti, Florence; Galleria Nazionale d'Arte moderna, Rome; Museo statale d'Arte Medievale e Moderna, Arezzo and Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan.
