About the Item
Dante meets Virgil - Sculpture is a rare and magnificent artwork realized by the renowned sculptor Pericle Fazzini during the 20th century.
Bonded bronze high relief sculpture. Edition of 9 exemplars.
Rotating sculpture mounted on a plexiglass base. Original title along the right side (visible in photo): Dante incontra Virgilio.
Dimensions: cm 33 x 2,3 x 25. Excellent conditions.
Inspired by the Divine Comedy where Dante meets Virgil, narrated in the first song of Dante's Hell, this artwork is characterized by an undulating rhythm made through sinuous and elongated figures. The dynamism of the scene is accentuated by Virgil's clothes which simulate an upward movement. Not even a centimeter of the space is static, traversed by the jagged rocks, the choppy sea and the leaden sky.
Pericle Fazzini (Grottammare, 1913 - Rome, 1987) was an Italian artist, sculptor and painter, winner of the Feltrinelli Prize for Sculpture in 1968.
He trained in the Free School of Nude. The first important commission was in 1931, when he won a competition for the construction of a monument to Cardinal Dusmet. In 1938 he opened his studio in Via Margutta where his whole life will remain. He participated in the Rome Quadrennial and the Venice Biennale. His sculptures are kept in important national and international collections including the Hakone open air museum in Japan, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, the Tate Gallery in London, the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Tokyo Momat and the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art.

He firstly embraced the principles of the Roman School, from which he matured an evocative language with warm chromatic intonations that found favorite themes in portraits and urban views.
