Jessica Carroll
Belgium black marble unique sculpture - 13 blackbirds made by Jessica Carroll

About the Item

The sculpture is carved from the precious black marble of Belgium, one of the most fascinating materials a sculptor has at his disposal. The work was created a few years ago and is the masterpiece of the American-born, Italian-adopted artist. The sculptor is known for her ability to interpret certain natural episodes that animate our fauna. She has always been involved in the study and representation of bees and their social and reproductive life. Sculptures in which she focuses on groups of animals or movements of herds, flocks, swarms etc. are not unusual. The beauty and solidity of the black marble from Belgium have enabled her to create a work that can without hesitation be praised as a highlight for its beauty and compositional balance. It is a unique and unrepeatable artwork. The sculpture is currently on display in the most significant Italian exhibition dedicated to the link between art and nature, the Selvatica festival, held in the sumptuous and historic Gromo Losa palace in Biella, a city in Piedmont. Till June 26, 2022.

  • THE LAST DAYS OF NAPOLÉON BY
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    This highly evocative bronze by Vincenzo Vela captures the deposed Emperor Napoléon on his deathbed, holding a map of Europe and lost in thought about what might have been. Remarkable among most portrayals of the exiled leader, this highly detailed sculpture depicts Napoléon at his most vulnerable. Nonetheless, Vela perfectly captures his still-heroic bearing, which imparts to this work a monumental quality and quiet dignity. The mate to this figure is the colossal marble at the Musée du Château de Malmaison, which was shown at the Paris Salon of 1867. The founder of the verismo movement in Italy, Vela was one of the great exponents of realism in sculpture. Born in Ligornetto, Switzerland in 1820, he studied under celebrated sculptor, Benedetto Cacciatori. He was also influenced both by the work of Tuscan sculptor Lorenzo Bartolini, who seamlessly combined neoclassicism with naturalism and the romantic painting of Francesco Hayez...
