About the Item
Bronze sculpture by the Italian-American sculptor Jessica Carroll
Diameter cm 80 + iron base, kg 110 (pure bronze).
Jessica Carroll's elegant and unique artwork is the result of years of study and experimentation, as well as knowledge of the world she represents. From the very beginning of her career, she has been inspired by nature. In particular, the Italian-American artist has always been fascinated by all those animal species that have life as a community: bees, but also eels, anchovies. Herds, swarms, flocks.
She dedicates a large part of her sculptural production to bees, with the most diverse materials: bronze, ceramics, iron, marble.
In bronze, she has found a fortunate ally with her latest Italian foundry, specialised in fine art, with long experience, who knows how to transfer carefully prepared waxes from Carroll into fine bronze sculptures.
Biography
Jessica Rosalind Carroll was born in Rome in 1961. At the age of five, she began working as a "young shopkeeper" by cleaning her painter's brushes and gradually learning various techniques including etching. Since she was very young, she has dedicated herself to drawing.
She has made photographic research trips to numerous parks, nature reserves and places of nature around the world from Italian parks to those in northern Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, the Pamir plateau and the Volga delta park in Turkey , Israel, Burma, India and Africa.
During a long period of stay in the United States, in addition to dedicating herself to photographic research in various national parks and reserves, or sanctuaries of the Audubon company, she attended courses in drawing, photography and chalcographic techniques at the Cleveland Institute of Art and readings on biology and ethology at the Western Reserve University. Five large pencil tables on cardboard on the flora and fauna of Lake Vico are permanently exhibited in the Park Visitor Center in Caprarola (Viterbo).
For about seven years she has also devoted herself to sculpture in marble, bronze, terracotta and other materials. Recently she has developed a bas-relief drawing technique with pongo.
In 2000 Jessica participated in a series of group exhibitions: at Gianenzo Sperone gallery, Salamon & C Gallery in Milan, at the Galleria dell'Incisione in Brescia, and at the Patrizia Buonanno Gallery in Trento and at Susanna Orlando gallery in Forte Dei Marmi. In December she illustrated for Fogola Editore in Turin the book of the Great Series "the Recall of the Forest" by Jack London.
In April 2001 she exhibited at the castle of Franz Paludetto and on May at the gallery La vetrina by Elisabetta Giovagnoni in Rome. In 2002 she created a Hannukia for the Museo dei Lumi of the Synagogue of Casale Monferrato.

Monumental Wrought Iron Magnolia Tree Sculpture by Zanoni - Unique Handcrafted Masterpiece
Description:
A breathtaking fusion of art, symbolism, and masterful Italian craftsmanship, this one-of-a-kind monumental magnolia tree sculpture is a tribute to nature's enduring grace. Created by the celebrated Italian artist Zanoni, known for his exceptional work in wrought iron, this piece stands as a singular work of art-both sculptural and soulful.
Forged entirely by hand, each petal and leaf of the magnolia is shaped with remarkable detail, imbuing the iron with an organic softness that belies its strength. Towering in presence yet delicate in expression, this magnolia tree becomes not just a decorative element, but a powerful symbol in any space.
In the language of flowers, the magnolia represents candour, fidelity, purity, perseverance, and dignity-qualities beautifully embodied in this sculpture. Its timeless message, coupled with its commanding form, makes it ideal for grand interiors, gardens, cultural spaces, or luxury hospitality environments seeking a poetic and bold statement.

Despite its size, the work is easily transportable thanks to an ingenious system developed over decades by the artists. The branches can be dismantled and reassembled very easily (please see the video).
This piece is more than a sculpture-it's a living legacy in iron, carrying both the strength of the material and the poetry of nature. For collectors and admirers of extraordinary craftsmanship, the Zanoni Magnolia is a rare and meaningful acquisition.

Grave stone naturalistic cross wrought iron outdoor sculpture, gold bee
By Ivan Zanoni
Located in Milan, IT
Calvary naturalistic tree.
Unique piece, not replicable. Hand-forged in wrought iron by the outstanding Italian sculptor Ivan Zanoni.
This sculpture in the form of a Cross is animated by natural elements and insects and is one of the most striking examples of the liveliness and singularity with which Ivan Zanoni knows how to forge iron and mould it according to his own sensitivity.
The Cross was the sculptural work chosen to welcome visitors to the 2024 solo exhibition that the prestigious Mart Museum in Rovereto - one of Italy's leading institutions for contemporary art - has dedicated to him.
Renowned for his wrought iron creations, Ivan Zanoni is internationally recognised as one of today's most significant iron sculptors. His mastery of the medium lends an organic vitality to the metal, particularly in his evocative depictions of plants and animals.
Born and living in Caldes (Trentino, Italy), Zanoni inherited his passion and skill from his father, Luciano Zanoni. A revered craftsman, Zanoni created a four-metre monumental olive tree sculpture...
