Salvatore Albano
Scultura in marmo italiana ritratto di fanciulla religiosa del XIX secolo

1890

About the Item

Il busto marmoreo, datato 1890, appartiene alla sua età adulta, nello specifico all’ultimo anno della sua vita, quando era molto richiesto e aveva uno studio molto prolifico a Firenze. Rappresenta una giovane contadinella, ritratta con fazzoletto a coprirle i capelli e una camicia aperta sul décolleté per mostrarci la collana con la croce, simbolo di una sincera e innocente fede (lo stesso ciondolo compare anche in altre opere di Albano, come il ritratto della sorella, di Evangeline e nei busti e nella scultura a figura intera della Margherita del Faust, tutti in collezioni private). La semplicità e la tenerezza del soggetto sono resi con una tecnica squisita; sempre citando De Gubernatis modellatore invidiabile dà alle carni modellate una singolare trasparenza, possiamo ritrovare questi aspetti nella delicatezza delle guance, del naso, del mento. La sua grande capacità scultorea compare soprattutto nei dettagli: i ciuffi che fuoriescono in modo molto naturale, la linea della piegatura del fazzoletto, il colletto della camicia che si ripiega su se stesso, l’uso del trapano per la resa dei capelli ricci. Conosciuto non solo in Italia ma anche oltreoceano, le sue opere si possono trovano in vari musei americani del nord (Filadelphia, Brooklyn Museum, Boston), del sud (monumento a Sebastiano Lerdo de Tejada a Città del Messico), in Canada (Montreal) e a Londra (Monumento al Generale McGregor nella Cattedrale di San Paolo).

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...
