About the Item

Small gilt bronze objet d'art on wooden base depicting a young sea creature, most likely a newt. These types of objects were very common in aristocratic homes, often kept in the lord's study as card stoppers, and, in addition to a collector's market of their own, most were bought as souvenirs during travels such as the Grand Tour. This one specifically, for stylistic reasons reminiscent of full Central Italian Mannerism, could be attributed to a Tuscan or Roman manufacture.

Bronze Sculpture “Surrender 8”
By Frank Arnold
Located in Fresno, CA
Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer. Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries, museums, and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
