Pietro Bazzanti
Large 19th Century Antique Marble Bust of Apollo of Belvedere

1860

About the Item

Pietro Bazzanti (1842-1881) specialized in allegorical and genre subjects as well as copies of Antique and Renaissance sculpture. Regarded as one of the most talented sculptors of his day, his studio in Florence became a center for other important sculptors such as Ferdinando Vichi, Cesare Lapini and Guglielmo Pugi. Many of these sculptor's works are inscribed Galleria Bazzanti. The current work depicts 19th Century Antique Marble Bust, Apollo of Belvedere. Beautifully carved and very good condition and color Apollo was identified with the sun and with the light of truth, reason and conscience. Besides that, he was the god of beauty, of perfection, of harmony and balance. Of dimensions slightly above the natural, the Belvedere Apollo is in a dynamic attitude, as if walking.

  • ORPHEUS Neoclassical White Marble Sculpture 19' Century
    Located in Rome, IT
    Unique Carrara white marble finely carved sculpture of Orpheus , Mythological personification of the eternal love and art. Henry Dasson French 1825 - 1896 Orpheus white marble, on a gilt bronze base 75.5cm., 29 3/4 in. overall The renowned Parisian maker of gilt-bronze mounted furniture, Henry Dasson, began his career as a bronze sculptor. Occasionally marbles with his signature have appeared on the art market. It is likely that these were made in his workshop at 106, rue Vielle du Temple, which specialised in the production of bronze artifacts and clocks. Dasson's success was such that he was made a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur in 1883 and was awarded the Grand Prix Artistique at the Paris 1889 Exposition Universelle.

With his lyre and his words he manages to seduce men, animals of all species and even trees, stones and the sea. With the strength of his verses he moves, softens, excites, touches the soul and the fibers of those who have the opportunity to listen to him. Orpheus falls in love with the nymph Eurydice and marries her. Yet the fate of the two lovers...
