About the Item
The small bronze depicts a small seated faun, immortalized while playing a wind instrument as can be clearly seen by the puffy cheeks. is signed at the base R. Castagnino and is from a ceramic prototype modeled in a manufactory in Albissola, Liguria. The artist first exhibited it at his solo show in the Pesaro Gallery in 1933. Although the work is from the last century, the inspiration is to the production of the mythological-themed bronzes very common in the Mannerist style during the 16th century.
Rodolfo Castagnino is a Genoese artist active in the first half of the 20th century, who participated in the most important exhibitions of the time (e.g.: Promotrice di Genova, Biennale di Venezia, Sindacale di Firenze, Quadriennale di Roma). A prolific sculptor with all sorts of materials (wood, terracotta, plaster, bronze, marble), he is characterized by a style that is very measured and composed in definition, mellowed by a quiet, relaxed expressiveness, very often directed toward idyllic themes.
