About the Item
Bronze on a marble base It bears Mayo's signature.
Trademark Fondart - Lagana Napoli.
“Of the first sculpture, a group of highly vigorous original artistry, all that remains is Adam's Mask “
This phrase is from a very rare 1929 pamphlet L'Abruzzo nel mio cuore ["Abruzzo in my hear"], an invaluable account of the history of this partially lost masterpiece.
Our beautiful head is the only surviving piece of thewonderful sculpture group Adam's Sleep by Elisabetta Mayo.
Let's again hear the words of author Beatrice Testa for the description: “A strange, terrifying mask, where the facial features of the first man have been brutalized by rebellion and sin, borders on the horror of the basest beastliness.
Between his forehead bumps, protruding cheekbones, bags under his eyes swollen with distrubed sleep, and his flabby and ignoble mouth, we can glimpse the flicker of a sly, mocking wickedness”.
This unsparing yet realistic description does not prevent us from appreciating the undeniable sculptural power of the work and its inimitable fascination.
This sculpture, never before on the market, comes from an important Italian private collection

Bronze Casting from the 1930s Giovanni De Martino
By Giovanni De Martino
Located in bari, IT
De Martino is a classical artist, known for the production of sculptures of small bronze busts, in particular (“scugnizzi”, fishermen, commoners) with realistic features.
He trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples under the guidance of Stanislao Nome, Gioacchino Toma, and Achille D ’Orsi, from whom he learned the ability to portray the most realistic details using them on very young subjects. Very young he moved to Paris where he performed small sculptural groups, exhibiting frequently at the "Paris Salon" where he won the prize of the Louvre Museum for the bronze work Le Pêcheur de criquets (The Fisher of locusts, Naples, private collection).
Returning to Naples, he returned to a socialist realism and produced sculptures depicting characteristic Neapolitan types, especially urchins, “street urchins”, little boys and young fishermen. From 1916-1931 he was master of the sculptor Angelo Frattini.
Later the dominant theme of his production was childhood, in particular thoughtful, sad, gaunt children were represented in his works, on whose faces the signs of abandonment and suffering emerged. De Martino became known with the nickname of “The sculptor of children”.
