A sculpture - amulet with two dolphins. 19th century
Located in Firenze, IT
A coral sculpture - amulet with two dolphins, fruits and leaves, symbols of abundance and life.
Nineteenth century.
Weight 17gr
Created from a single sprig of coral, carved, engraved and polished.
Italian workmanship of the Trapani tradition, but difficult to place more precisely, as the Trapani artisans moved around Italy over time, forming, among other things, a lesser-known processing center in Livorno (Tuscany), the place of probable creation of this splendid object.
Sculpture with two fish, probably two dolphins, or 2 marine monsters, which transform themselves into a kind of cornucopia, from which fruits emerge in abundance.
The gift to the newborn therefore had a sense of protection and above all of future male fertility...

Located in Paris, FR
Embroidered textile painting
Hand sewed, unique, hand-signed by the artist
Penelope or Parque of modern times, Barbara d’Antuono sews by hand like others recite mantras and decides nothing in advance. She lets images arise without any particular coherence with each other, but to which she gives substance in a kind of urgency, in the form of a strip not drawn but sewn. The exhibition, like the eponymous book, covers seven years of this assiduous and patient work through nearly 30 textile works, real freeze frames made of the emotions and memories of the artist, like so many portraits of humanity. . Her meeting in Haiti with Baron Samedi...
