E. Fiaschi Flight into Egypt Alabaster, Bronze & Marble Holy Family Sculpture
About the Item
This alabaster, bronze and marble figural group was created by highly regarded Italian sculptor Emilio P. Fiaschi (1858 – 1941). The sculpture depicts the Holy Family's Flight into Egypt and has been finished with the skill and sensitivity characteristic of Fiaschi's oeuvre. Joseph walks alongside the Blessed Virgin Mary who is sitting astride a bronze donkey. The Baby Jesus is cradled in her arms close to her chest.
The heads of Mother and Son are adorned with simple circular metal disc-form halos expressing divine glory while their beatific faces impart a sense of peace and tranquility. Particular attention has been given to their facial expressions and also to the drapery of Mary's robes which fall gracefully across her lap, revealing the rounded shape of her leg.
Joseph has a stoic visage and his body is bent forward with his shoulders slightly stooped, suggesting he has been walking for a great distance and has a long way to go before reaching the end of their arduous journey. He carries a pail in his left hand and a long metal shepher's crook in his right.
The figural group is mounted on a rectangular marble plinth with clipped corners, the surface of which is carved to resemble a stony path. The sculptor's name "P. C. E. Fiaschi" is inscribed on the side beneath Joseph's sandaled feet along with the city "Firenze" and "Made in Italy".
This beautifully carved Italian sculpture carries a lot of emotional impact and would be a wonderful addition to a grouping of works by Fiaschi or works equally well showcased on its own. A lovely piece well suited to any art collection.

- Antique Franz Bergman Bruno Zach Cold Painted Bronze Peacock with Fanned TrainBy Franz Bergmann, Bruno ZachLocated in Cincinnati, OHThis fabulous bronze peacock was made at Franz Bergman's Vienna foundry and bears the name of sculptor Bruno Zach. The highly detailed sculpture is beautifully cast and features cold painted polychrome decoration. The peacock's crested head is turned slightly to the left and its magnificent fanned tail feathers - also known as a train - are realistically rendered and arch forward as they rise. The train has splayed feathers at both ends that rest flat on the display surface, preventing instability. The feathers have been finished with white shafts and greenish-gold vanes while the ornamental black eyespots are accented with metallic rose and copper colored paint. It should be noted that the back of the bird's train is also highly detailed lending visual interest if viewed from the front or the rear. The peacock's head and body are painted in a silvery color while the painted decoration on the head includes large white masks and black eyes that are ringed in orange. The bird's angled beak is finished in yellow and has well defined upper and lower sections. The peacock's wings are positioned parallel to its body and extend back beyond the train. The outside of each wing is accented in mottled copper and black paint while the rear portions bear a series of painted copper and black stripes. The bird's thin legs are finished in gray and have black spurs at the back. Its long toes terminate in sharp black talons. The peacock is in very good condition with no replacements or repairs. As an antique, the piece shows signs of age including minor areas of paint loss that are noted for accuracy. It stands 8" at the tallest point of the train and is 11.5" as measured across the widest points of the train. The piece is 3.25" at its deepest point. The back of the train bears a partially legible Bergman amphora-shaped foundry mark with a B at the center. It is also signed 'Zach' in cast at the underside of one section of tail feathers for sculptor Bruno Zach who had a history of collaborating with Bergman to edit and cast some of his works. The peacock weighs 3lbs 2oz. This lovely antique Vienna Bronze peacock sculpture...Category
